In the Medical Response to Ebola, Cuba is Punching far Above its Weight

While the international community has been accused of dragging its feet on
the Ebola crisis, Cuba, a country of just 11 million people that still
enjoys a fraught relationship with the United States, has emerged as a
crucial provider of medical expertise in the West African nations hit by
Ebola.
.
On Thursday, 165 health professionals from the country arrived in
Freetown, Sierra Leone, to join the fight against Ebola the largest
medical team of any single foreign nation, according to the World Health
Organization (WHO). And after being trained to deal with Ebola, a further
296 Cuban doctors and nurses will go to Liberia and Guinea, the other two
countries worst hit by the crisis.
.
Cuba is, by any measure, not a wealthy country. It had a Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) of slightly more than $68 billion in 2011, according to the
World Bank, putting it a few places higher than Belarus. At $6,051, its
GDP per capita was less than one-sixth of Britain's. However, its official
response to Ebola seems far more robust than many countries far wealthier
than it and serves as further proof that health-care professionals are up
there with rum and cigars in terms of Cuban exports.
.
Cuba's universal health-care system enables such an export. The country
nationalized its health care shortly after its revolution, ending private
health care and guaranteeing free health care in its constitution. The
results have been widely praised. In 2008, evaluating 30 years of Cuba's
"primary health care revolution," the WHO noted impressive strides that
the country had made in certain health indicators. "These indicators
which are close or equal to those in developed countries speak for
themselves," Gail Reed noted, pointing to a huge reduction in number of
deaths for children under five years old and Cuba's high life expectancy
of 77 years.
