What good is “healthcare” is you don’t have basics like antibiotics and wound dressings? The idea that Cuba healthcare is anything but terrible is a myth. Any stats coming from the Cuban government about health outcomes shouldn’t be taken seriously, they don’t allow any independent investigation and medical professionals can’t freely publish research.

That may well be true. While I have heard people praise the healthcare system, I neither am a doctor myself nor someone with first-hand experience of Cuban healthcare.
