Primary Health Care in Cuba: The Other Revolution - Paperback

by Linda M. Whiteford (Author), Laurence G. Branch (Author)

Cuba's primary health care system is a well-known and well-hidden jewel of global health care. It has eradicated malaria and polio, and curtailed HIV/AIDS and dengue fever. This book focuses on the successes of Cuba's preventive primary health care system, rather than the deficit of the curative care system.
