How is it possible
that a poor nation like Cuba can achieve health
indicators on a par with the world’s richer nations?
In several fields of medical research - new
vaccines, new therapies and ground-breaking
anti-cancer agents - this small Caribbean nation is
challenging the pharmaceutical empires of the west.
How is it possible that Cuba has achieved so much
with so few resources? And that one of the world’s
poorer nations can offer to help the US-the world’s
richest-to cope with Hurricane Katrina? Cuba offered
to send hundreds of doctors to New Orleans in 2005.
At a time when public health systems are in crisis
and a tide of privatisation of healthcare has
gripped the globe, this documentary looks in depth
at one health system that is swimming against the
currents of corporate globalization. |
