🇨🇺 Cuba's Compassion in a time of COVID 🇨🇺

Every country has a tale of COVID-19.  But none like Cuba.  The country has a long-standing policy of medical assistance to other countries while maintaining good health at home.  When the pandemic struck Cuba kept its borders open and even received cruise ships with patients suffering from COVID-19. On top of it, Cuba has been sending its own medical experts to crisis situations around the world in the fight against COVID-19.  From Anguilla to Andorra, from Haiti to Italy, Cuban doctors are providing COVID-19 relief well beyond their borders in a time when most nations have closed their doors altogether.  

John Kirk is Professor of Latin American Studies at Dalhousie University, where he has taught since 1978. He is the author / co-editor of 16 books on Cuba, including “health care without borders.” He is currently working on a new book analyzing Canada-Cuba relations.
