Cuba’s Medicine Program: High-Quality Education for American Students
July 2, 2024by CubaHeal Research
Choosing the right destination for medical studies is a pivotal decision for any aspiring doctor. While many students might consider the United States, Canada, or Europe, an increasingly popular yet often overlooked destination is Cuba. Renowned for its high-quality medical education, rich culture, and the added advantage of gaining proficiency in a second language, Cuba offers a unique and compelling proposition for North American students.
Exceptional Medical Academic Programs
Cuba’s medical education system is internationally acclaimed, offering robust and comprehensive programs that are both rigorous and affordable. The University of Medical Sciences of Havana is one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country, known for its high standards and quality education. This institution provides a strong foundation in medical sciences and extensive clinical training, making it an excellent choice for North American students.

After 63 years of the US blockade, Cuba still educates international doctors for free
February 5, 2025
The closing ceremony of the 25th Anniversary Congress of ELAM Graduates, held at the Convention Center in Havana, was presided over by the Cuban Minister of Health, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Rector of the ELAM.
by JR Valrey, The Minister of Information
Dr. Samira Addrey is a class of 2020 alumni of the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) and an organizer with IFCO/Pastors For Peace who is currently giving out scholarships for ELAM. The ELAM scholarships were created by the Cuban government to help develop health and wellness services for underserved communities around the world.
Recently, the US and Israel – against the rest of the international community – succeeded in keeping a 63-year blockade of the nation in place at the United Nations.
Within the last two months, Cuba has been hit with nationwide blackouts caused by shortages that the blockade created, a renewal of the blockade, two hurricanes and two earthquakes.
Dr. Addrey recently visited the island and was gracious enough to give us a reportback from the ground about the recent damage that has occurred because of the disasters, the damage caused by the decades-long illegal blockade being renewed, as well as to let us know that the Cubans will continue to fight the Revolution against capitalism and imperialism worldwide.
