Abstract
When Cuban guerrilla bands fought in remote mountain villages more than a quarter of a century ago, one of their first promises was to provide Cubans with medical care equal to any in the world. Today, on the eve of the silver anniversary of the "triumph of the revolution," even Cuba's detractors admit that the new government has made good on that commitment. Although in certain respects Cuba's revolutionaries started with a nation somewhat less medically deprived than other Third World countries, Cubans still suffered the punishment of poverty and neglect. Now the island has emerged in such good health . . .Keywords
