    Cuba offers help to the USA

    After one minute of silence for the Katrina victims, Fidel Castro offers to send 1100 cuban doctors !
    I wonder if the US governement will take the offer !

    By the way, England, Germany, France and some other countries offered to send medical help and supplies, did the US accept or not ?

                              How does Cuba's medical and health system compare with the rest of Latin America?

                                          Say what you will about Cuba's motivations but they have long sent 1000's of doctors abroad to help the poorest nations for free. This isn't an idle offer, it's part of their "doctors without borders" program.

                                          And actually Cuba's health system is the envy of much of Latin America.

                                              Russia does have an airplane that is slightly larger than the USAs C5.

                                              I saw a AN-225 north of boston loading a very large printing press to take back to russia. very cool airplane.


                                              But the C5 is a much better airplane.

                                                  do we get to give them back when we are done with them or do we give each of them a house in southern Florida?

                                                      Actually.. Cuba's biotech is so advanced that the US admin are fear mongering about them making bio-weapons when really they are just providing income for Cuba in Bio-med exports like any good old US bio-med company.


                                                      "When Marxist revolutionary Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, most of Cuba's resources were ploughed into developing education and health systems. In the mid-1980s, with aid from the Soviet Union, Cuba started to invest heavily in science and biotechnology.

                                                      Although it is a small country with only 11 million people, it now boasts 52 scientific research institutes in the capital and more than 12,000 scientists on the whole island.

                                                      Cuba's health indicators - the infant mortality rate is 6.4 per 1,000 and life expectancy is 75 years - put it in the same league, health-wise, as the US and Britain. The quality and efficiency of its comprehensive, and free, health-care system contrasts sharply with the sluggish and inefficient state-controlled economy.

                                                      Cuba pulled off its first scientific coup with the discovery of a new vaccine for meningitis B in the late 1980s. The vaccine controlled epidemics at home, and obtained good results abroad especially in Argentina and Brazil.

                                                      Havana's Carlos J. Finlay Institute has entered into a deal that allows major drug multinational GlaxoSmithKline to license its discovery in order to facilitate the first entry of a Cuban medical product into the more lucrative Western market. "

Some have been told we are fine for now but if we do need the assistance you are offering we will take you up on it as needed. And as far as our neighbor to the North

                                                          Critics from your own country blasted Prime Minister Paul Martin for staying silent until late Wednesday, then only offering a routine sympathy message. Martin has been said to have shown "a shocking lack of personal support for the United States" to quote Stockwell Day. Bush and Martin may not get along but you can bet your ass if something happened in Canada we'd be there full strength to help you.

                                                              I got a horrible kidney infection in Mexico a couple of years ago and was convinced I was going to die and have to be shipped back in a box, lol. I was really worried that I was going to have to see some 19 year old Mexican kid claiming to be an MD and wanting to do a pelvic exam on me.

                                                              Luckily, I got a doctor that had trained at Miami, but a concierge told me that I might even "luck out" and get to see Dr. So-and-so, from Cuba. I said, "I guess that's bad, right?" She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "No! Always try to get a Cuban trained doctor." That was news to me.

                                                                                                      Cuban are really advanced in health care ... that's one of the good point of the revolution.

                                                                                                      In certain field, they are probably more advanced then canadian / americans... and I didn't dig that out of james bond... lol

Some have been told we are fine for now but if we do need the assistance you are offering we will take you up on it as needed. And as far as our neighbor to the North

                                                                                                          Critics from your own country blasted Prime Minister Paul Martin for staying silent until late Wednesday, then only offering a routine sympathy message. Martin has been said to have shown "a shocking lack of personal support for the United States" to quote Stockwell Day. Bush and Martin may not get along but you can bet your ass if something happened in Canada we'd be there full strength to help you.

Cuba's biotech is so advanced that the US admin are fear mongering about them making bio-weapons when really they are just providing income for Cuba in Bio-med exports like any good old US bio-med company.


                                                                                                                  "When Marxist revolutionary Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, most of Cuba's resources were ploughed into developing education and health systems. In the mid-1980s, with aid from the Soviet Union, Cuba started to invest heavily in science and biotechnology.

                                                                                                                  Although it is a small country with only 11 million people, it now boasts 52 scientific research institutes in the capital and more than 12,000 scientists on the whole island.

                                                                                                                  Cuba's health indicators - the infant mortality rate is 6.4 per 1,000 and life expectancy is 75 years - put it in the same league, health-wise, as the US and Britain. The quality and efficiency of its comprehensive, and free, health-care system contrasts sharply with the sluggish and inefficient state-controlled economy.

                                                                                                                  Cuba pulled off its first scientific coup with the discovery of a new vaccine for meningitis B in the late 1980s. The vaccine controlled epidemics at home, and obtained good results abroad especially in Argentina and Brazil.

                                                                                                                  Havana's Carlos J. Finlay Institute has entered into a deal that allows major drug multinational GlaxoSmithKline to license its discovery in order to facilitate the first entry of a Cuban medical product into the more lucrative Western market.

I've heard of Cuba's priorities re education and health. Very different from other countries... hell, very different from the Philippines where I'm based. We could definitely use those priorities here. Lots of kids dying from simple and easily avoidable Vitamin A deficiency. Not that we have a lack of medical personnel here... Its because its a private system and most are economically pushed to leave the country.

                                                                                                                                              True, individual and social priorities do play a major role. While the Philippines has historically accorded a high regard for nurses and doctors, they pay them shit wages so most leave. Most US hospitals in California have a large population of Filipino/Filipina nurses. Filipino nurses have a reputation for being hard working and going the extra mile. I believe that... not just because my brother is a nurse in Los Angeles but also because most Filipinos who emigrate to the US remember how hard life is in the Philippines so they put in the extra effort.

They probably don't associate it with cutting edge medical research.

Washington then cites that industry as evidence of Cuba?s ability to wage biological warfare. Washington therefore labels Cuba a terrorist nation. Thus the embargo is ?not only legitimate, but essential.?

Cuba's biotech is so advanced that the US admin are fear mongering about them making bio-weapons when really they are just providing income for Cuba in Bio-med exports like any good old US bio-med company.


                                                                                                                                                                      "When Marxist revolutionary Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, most of Cuba's resources were ploughed into developing education and health systems. In the mid-1980s, with aid from the Soviet Union, Cuba started to invest heavily in science and biotechnology.

                                                                                                                                                                      Although it is a small country with only 11 million people, it now boasts 52 scientific research institutes in the capital and more than 12,000 scientists on the whole island.

                                                                                                                                                                      Cuba's health indicators - the infant mortality rate is 6.4 per 1,000 and life expectancy is 75 years - put it in the same league, health-wise, as the US and Britain. The quality and efficiency of its comprehensive, and free, health-care system contrasts sharply with the sluggish and inefficient state-controlled economy.

                                                                                                                                                                      Cuba pulled off its first scientific coup with the discovery of a new vaccine for meningitis B in the late 1980s. The vaccine controlled epidemics at home, and obtained good results abroad especially in Argentina and Brazil.

                                                                                                                                                                      Havana's Carlos J. Finlay Institute has entered into a deal that allows major drug multinational GlaxoSmithKline to license its discovery in order to facilitate the first entry of a Cuban medical product into the more lucrative Western market.
