Bure to Mogilny Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Not true at all. There is about 6.7 physicians per 1000 in Cuba, whereas in Canada it's around 2.2 and in the USA 2.6. Cuban physicians work abroad for various reasons. Apparently there are over 30k in Venezuela - part of an agreement to obtain favourable oil imports. Ok i will check that but good to know i was under the idea they had a terible health system but maybe i misundertood or confused with a nother country thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucklehead Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah i cant imagine cuba has many doctors so they should stay there to help people who need it there instead of to go to africa for PR for USA to try to proove they are a good country now Nope, just business as usual. (from wikipedia)Cuban medical internationalism is the Cuban programme, since the 1959 Cuban Revolution, of sending Cuban medical personnel overseas, particularly to Latin America, Africa and, more recently, Oceania,[1] and of bringing medical students and patients to Cuba. In 2007, "Cuba has 42,000 workers in international collaborations in 103 different countries, of whom more than 30,000 are health personnel, including no fewer than 19,000 physicians."[2] Cuba provides more medical personnel to the developing world than all the G8 countries combined,[2] although this comparison does not take into account G8 development aid spent on developing world healthcare. The Cuban missions have had substantial positive local impact on the populations served.[3] It is widely believed that medical workers are Cuba's most important export commodity.[4] And when were they not a good country?

RUPERTKBD Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I dont mean to sound ignorant but what have they done for good before this cause ive never heard of it? And im not just been rude i really dont know more then there atacks and killings to south africa and a nother coutry down there There was an interesting scene in the movie "Sicko". Michael Moore interviewed a Cuban doctor about how their medical system works. In a hypothetical situation, he asked what would happen if an American citizen showed up in a Cuban hospital, asking for treatment. The doctor seemed a bit confused, stating that he would treat the patient. When asked by Moore if he would ask the American for payment, he looked equally baffled, simply saying "No." This is interesting, because most first world countries provide free health care to some degree. (Although not all would treat foreign patients for free) Cuba, being a relatively poor country would seem to have a more progressive attitude towards health care than many more affluent societies.

I think your parents have confused "supporting the 9/11 attacks" with being critical of George Bush's actions, both before and after 9/11. But whatever. Ignorance begets ignorance, I suppose.

In a communist system, where doctors don't make millions, you can afford to have more of them. Quantity doesn't always make up for quality though. Canada still has a higher life expectancy.

Cuba and canada could be the same have had the same chance and used to be similar and today canadians can live longer and cuba people can not. Is pretty obvious i thought. After investigations today it seems cuba doctors are bad quality compared to doctors from free democratic countrys like canada or USA.

nucklehead Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Cuba has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the region, with the average citizen living to 78.05 years old (in comparison to the United States' 78.62 years.
