🇨🇺 Cuba's Healthy Development. 🇨🇺

Almost 20 years ago Dr. John Kirk encouraged (Dr.) Bob Huish to head to Cuba to pursue research for the first time.  Since then the two have worked closely together on issues of Cuba's place in the global health landscape.  Both have published books on Cuban Medical Internationalism and dozens of articles on the subject.  In this podcast they sit down for a half hour to discuss why Cuba sends thousands of doctors overseas, why Cuba offers medical scholarships to students from around the world, and how well the Cuban development model fares in taking care of their own.  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. This podcast is part of the special series on The Cuban Development Model.  Follow Dr. Bob on Twitter:  @ProfessorHuish
