After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, Cuba established a program to send its medical personnel overseas, particularly to Latin America, Africa, and Oceania, and to bring medical students and patients to Cuba for training and treatment respectively. In 2007, Cuba had 42,000 workers in international collaborations in 103 different countries, of whom more than 30,000 were health personnel, including at least 19,000 physicians. Cuba provides more medical personnel to the developing world than all the G8 countries combined, although this comparison does not take into account G8 development aid spent on developing world health care. The Cuban missions have had substantial positive local impacts on the populations served. It is widely believed that medical workers are a vital export commodity for Cuba

  • L'internationalisme médical cubain ou coopération médicale internationale de Cuba est la politique cubaine initiée après la révolution cubaine de 1959 consistant d'une part à envoyer du personnel médical à l'étranger et d'autre part à accueillir des étudiants en médecine et des patients à Cuba. En 2016, 50 000 médecins cubains sont présents dans 62 pays, couplant ces services à des campagnes d'alphabétisation. Ces services payants rapportent à Cuba 11 milliards de dollars, par an en moyenne entre 2011 et 2015, troisième poste de revenus de l’île avec les envois d’argent par la diaspora et les revenus du tourisme. Les salaires du personnel médical sont perçus par l’État cubain qui n’en reverse qu’une faible partie à celui-ci, mais utilise cette manne pour financer l'éducation et un système (fr)
  • Exportação de serviços de saúde de Cuba é um programa cubano que teve início na década de 1960, cujo objetivo é enviar pessoal médico cubano para o exterior, particularmente para a América Latina, África e, mais recentemente, Oceania e para levar estudantes de medicina e pacientes a Cuba. Acredita-se que os trabalhadores médicos são o produto de exportação mais importante de Cuba. Por isso, enviar médicos ao exterior não é apenas uma maneira de Cuba ter uma receita muito necessária, mas também ajuda a promover a imagem do país como uma usina de médicos que habitualmente presta ajuda ao mundo.
