After my trip to Cuba in July of 2007, my classmates and I organized a presentation at JHSPH to share our findings and impressions of the Cuban health system. There was some request for this to be made available more publicly, but I have only just figured out how to do so. Some photos had to be deleted due to the size of the presentation, but I assure you they were beautiful.
The conclusion: The Cuban health system has done impressively with few resources. It has better health statistics than the US, spends minimally on its citizens, yet each doctor in Cuba is in charge of less than 250 households, and is charged with managing their psycho-social well being as well as their physical well being, for a more holistic view of health.
Here is the presentation for your viewing pleasure:
I do not want to be presumptuous and think that someone might want to appropriate any of these slides, but just in case, please don't. They aren't yours.
