Over 50,000 Cuban health professionals are currently working overseas in 67 different countries. They work in conjunction with local health professionals. The majority work in primary care in deprived areas. The aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality but also improve health in the long term by training local health professionals, and building both institutions and a structure to deliver health care alongside educating the local population. Cuba is a small, middle-income country. It has, however, made a significant international contribution in relation to medical collaboration. Cuba's international collaboration is based on the principles of social justice and equity for all. It has set an example for other countries to emulate.
目前,超过5万名古巴医疗专业人员在67个不同国家的海外工作。他们与当地医疗专业人员合作。大多数人在贫困地区从事初级保健工作。其目标是降低发病率和死亡率,同时通过培训当地医疗专业人员、建立医疗机构和提供医疗服务的架构以及教育当地民众,从长远改善健康状况。古巴是一个中等收入的小国。然而,它在医疗合作方面做出了重大的国际贡献。古巴的国际合作基于社会正义和人人平等的原则。它为其他国家树立了效仿的榜样。
