Cuba is one of the poorest countries of the world. For the past 34 years the United States has maintained an economic embargo against Cuba. Because of this, Cuba has not been able to share in advances in American medical technology, pharmaceuticals, or research. The country has also been abandoned by the former Soviet Union. Recent political developments have assured continuation of the embargo. This report describes the current state of prehospital and emergency medical care in Cuba, how the embargo has affected emergency services, and possibilities for the future.
古巴是世界上最贫穷的国家之一。在过去34年里，美国一直对古巴实施经济禁运。因此，古巴无法分享美国在医疗技术、药品或研究方面的进步。该国还被前苏联抛弃。最近的政治事态发展确保了禁运的持续。本报告描述了古巴院前和紧急医疗护理的现状、禁运如何影响紧急服务以及未来的可能性。
