• Resumen

  • The author reflects on public health and medical innovations in Cuba that U.S. medical care could learn from as Cuban-U.S. relations improve. He mentions the sense of social obligation in Cuban medical education which encourages Cuban medical personnel to focus on rural and low-income urban regions and the requirement for Cuban physicians to complete a residency in community-based family medicine. He considers factors behind low infant mortality in Cuba and their higher maternal mortality.
