      Cuba actually has an excellent force of doctors it regularly deploys overseas for reputation and profit.

      Cuba spends a lot of money on doctor training. It may not include a lot of experience in expensive treatments, but the training is on par with most developed countries and most countries will offer reciprocity on education and licensure to Cuban doctors.

      Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the American Medical Association is against dropping the Cuban embargo as the country would be the best place for medical tourism in the world.
