Fidel Castro, in an agreement with members of Washington Congressional Black Caucus, allowed 6 US students to study medicine at Havana University, one of the best medical schools in the world. The Caucus has to approach and implore then Secretary of State Collin Power to lift the US ban on travel to allow the student to travel. Thank you Mr. Powell.
After 6 years of study the students are now full fledged doctors and have now graduated. What did this cost and who, how much? I assume it was all Free! Hard to believe that a 6 year medical degree could be Free when in the US the same could run you well into the hundreds of thousands.
What is Cuba doing differently - that a poor, small Caribbean island could train people in a high demand and highly expensive field for Free? questions...questions. they're obviously doing something right.
As part of the agreement, the 6 young Doctor graduates are to return to their community to provide low-cost healthcare. Low-Cost health care in the US?
According to US officials right now there are over 80 US students studying in the the island nation. But some are already saying this is a propaganda coup by the island....but what else could it be?!
