Since the Cuban Revolution in 1959, Cuba has made health a national priority and established a public, universal, free, patient-centered system. It is based on prevention and the family physician model, which has enabled it to achieve remarkable health results. By placing the patient at the center of the health project, Cuba has demonstrated that it is possible to provide first-rate services to the population, despite the structural limitations related to its low income. Medical cooperation has become the country’s main source of income due to its ability to train a large number of human capital whose expertise is sought after by different countries around the world.
