The Cuban Medical System is one of the best in the world.

Medical attention is free for any Cuban citizen.

In fact, Cuba has a Higher life expectancy than the United States.

This is my final year of Medical School in Havana, Cuba and this is what I’ve learned

1/ 🧵
Medical supplies such as medications, IV catheters, syringes and ventilators are extremely scarce in Cuba due to the U.S. Embargo.

The U.S. dominates the Medical Field all over the world.

It owns more than 50% of all medication & material patents in the world.

2/
Due to the fact that most of the worlds medical supplies are owned or patented by the U.S.

Cuba is unable to purchase from any 3rd party seller or company that has at least 10% U.S patent integrated in their supplies.

That is basically no one in the world!!

Después de los exámenes médicos y verificación de los demás requisitos, llegué a la Habana en Marzo de 2006
