A source for this please? The only reason you could say ANYTHING about the Cuban medical system is because of their lack of technology. That is a result of the embargo put on them by the United States.
However, that said, I would MUCH rather be treated by a Cuban doctor who is a doctor to heal people rather than an American doctor, who is a doctor to make money, suck off some drug companies and do what he can to charge people the most for even the most simple procedure.
Cuban medical professionals are some of the highest quality medical personnel in the world.
