What puts Cuba on the map in the quest for Global Health ....

We are very excited to announce that we just added Cuba as a new destination for our Minor Global Health 2017.

Want to know more about Cuba's contribution to Global Health? Check out this video: https://vimeo.com/mediccglobal/saludthefilm

 A timely film about the competing values that mark the battle for global health. Beautifully filmed in Cuba, South Africa, The Gambia, Honduras and Venezuela, SALUD suggests bold new approaches to developing the human resources critical to making health care a global birthright. The film examines the remarkable case of Cuba, a poor country with what the BBC calls "one of the world's best health systems," and explores Cuba's extensive global health initiatives. SALUD accompanies some of the 28,000 Cuban health professionals now staffing public health systems in over 60 countries. Their stories, and those of young medical students-now numbering 30,000-from the Americas, Africa and Asia studying in Cuba, challenge us to rethink the potential of international health cooperation.

Successful Kick-off: 80 students selected, tickets being ordered, ready to go!

Last Monday 12 June we had 3 very successful Kick-off meetings of the Minor Global Health 2017. After a general introduction on the Minor Global Health, logistics, vaccinations etc., students had break-out sessions with last year's MHG2016 students to discuss do's and don'ts while abroad. Very inspiring ;) In the meantime, housing is being arranged, flights are being booked, vaccinations have started. So ready to go!
