  • Cuba in the Time of Coronavirus: Exploiting a Global Crisis
    Cuba in the time of coronavirus: exploiting a global crisis Part I: Pandemic as opportunity April 7, 2020 If any country was ready for the global pandemic, it was Cuba … but not how one would expect. Its regime has responded to the coronavirus crisis by kicking into high gear to reap economic and political gain while attempting to enhance its international image, blame the United States for its problems, and erode its economic sanctions. This time, however, its usual trade-off of repressing its people for external gain is looking like a riskier gamble. Photo: CubaDebate.com In early to mid-March 2020, as most countries took increasingly drastic measures to contain the spread of coronavirus, the Cuban government was striking deals to hire out its indentured doctors, hype its questionable medications, and lure tourists while ignoring the cost to its own population. Its huge state apparatus instantly deployed its arsenal of asymmetrical weapons ¾intelligence and propaganda¾ that are the hallmark of its unique brand of soft power.1 It has proven quite effective to “alter the behavior of others to get what it wants”2 in the world stage and it has an uncanny ability to use its people as political and economic weapons. Although the 61-year old Communist regime rules over a repressed and impoverished people and a tiny, bankrupt economy, it has carefully crafted a fake narrative of Cuba as a “medical powerhouse” and “the world’s 1 Joseph Nye, a political scientist and former Clinton administration official, coined the post-Cold War concept of “soft power in a 1990 Foreign Policy piece.

  • The Cuban Healthcare System
    Cuba 101 Series The Cuban Healthcare System High-quality, accessible healthcare for all citizens is one of the most important pillars of the Cuban Revolution. Since the Revolution’s inception and throughout its development, the expansion and improvement of healthcare have remained among the government’s highest priorities and largest budgetary allowances.1 Before the Revolution, access to healthcare varied greatly by social class. Private clinics were only accessible to those with resources, and public hospitals were underfunded, inaccessible to most rural residents, badly equipped, and crippled by corruption.2 In 1961, the Cuban government created a new National Health System (SNS, for its acronym in Spanish) and began to phase out all private healthcare and expand public services.3 Today, all healthcare is regulated and financed by the government, and is provided to Cubans free of cost.4 To overcome limited access to pharmaceuticals, technology, and other material resources, the country has leveraged its strength in education and high number of trained doctors to focus on making primary care accessible and community-based. In this way, emphasis can be placed on prevention, and the need for costly “cures” is reduced. The result is remarkably strong health outcomes with very low spending: Cuba routinely outperforms all other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean in measures such as infant mortality and life expectancy.5 In fact, even while spending $6,928 (73.68%) less per capita on healthcare than the United States in 2014, Cuba recorded a 26% lower infant mortality rate and 0.7% higher life expectancy for that year.6- 7 Cuba now faces the challenges of making care more comfortable in medical facilities that suffer from limited access to bedding, bandages, and other basic resources, as well as dealing with chronic diseases (such as cancer, diabetes, etc.) and those that affect the elderly (such as dementia).

  • Campaign for Nobel Peace Prize for Cuban Doctors Begins in the U.S
    Campaign for Nobel Peace Prize for Cuban doctors begins in the U.S. A new petition to nominate the Henry Reeve medical contingent for the Nobel Peace Prize has joined this broad international crusade with the announcement of the campaign in the United States. The launch of the campaign will take place during a virtual conference with the participation of actor and activist Danny Glover and Cuba's ambassador in Washington, José Ramón Cabañas. On his Twitter account, Glover confirmed his presence at the event on the Internet the day before. "Tomorrow (today) I'll talk to the Cuban ambassador 'JoseRCabanas about #Covid19, Cuba and saving lives," he wrote. More than two thousand doctors, nurses and medical professionals from Cuba have collaborated in 27 countries affected by COVID-19 (already 28 with the incorporation yesterday of Turks and Caicos Islands), according to a statement from the organizing committee of the U.S. campaign, sent to Prensa Latina. "I was moved to tears to see the Cubans, at the height of the pandemic, going to the most infected part of Italy to help save lives," said Medea Benjamin, co-director of the peace group Codepink, which co-chairs the group along with Alicia Jrapko of the International Committee for Peace, Justice and Dignity of Peoples. "The heroic effort of Cuban doctors in this pandemic is not only the medical contribution they are making in many parts of the world, but also their great spirit of solidarity and love for humanity," Jrapko said. The campaign has so far received the support of prominent intellectuals, artists, politicians and ordinary citizens from all over the world who recognize the outstanding contribution of this international brigade to the health and life of all human beings.
