Challenges Faced by Cuban Doctors
Limited Resources:
The Cuban healthcare system, while renowned for its commitment to public health, grapples with limited resources, including medical supplies and equipment. Doctors often have to make things happen with what is available, putting their creativity and adaptability to the test.
Economic Struggles:
Doctors in Cuba, despite their extensive training and expertise, often earn modest salaries that may not reflect the level of dedication and hard work they put into their profession. Many of them can’t afford to feed their families and provide the necessary elements to survive.
Restricted Opportunities:
Cuban doctors may face limitations on their ability to travel abroad for work or professional development due to government policies. This can hinder their career growth and exposure to global medical practices.
