Health care in Cuba

HAVANA, CUBA - FEBRUARY 12: The corridor of '19 De Abril' hospital, in Havana, Cuba, on February 12, 2015. In average 20 or 30 patient are treated in a day at the 19 De Abril hospital and all prescription medicines are supplied by Cuban government. There are no private hospitals or clinics as all health services are family medicines and polyclinics by government-run. Cuban medical care suffered following the end of Soviet subsidies in 1991; the stepping up of the US embargo against Cuba at this time also had an effect.
