A RECENT report published in BMJ Paediatrics Open, the official journal of the British Medical Journal and Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, states that in the “provision of healthcare and solidarity, the world can learn a lot from Cuba.”
Medical experts from Cuba, Bolivia, Italy and Britain collaborated to write Cuba: Solidarity, Ebola and Covid-19, which studies the nation’s “approach to providing healthcare assistance to people in other countries.”
Using the examples of Ebola and Covid-19, the research shows how Cuba’s response to global health crisis has been one of collaboration and sharing expertise, consisitent with its “political philosophy that health is a human right for all people in the world.”
