Abstract
More than 2,000 Cuban health care personnel are presently providing care in Third World nations; less than five years ago this number was fewer than 100. Some 1,500 of these are physicians, representing nearly 13% of Cuba's 12,000 health service physicians. Cuba dominates the health care delivery system of four small African nations and South Yemen, and Cubans are a major presence in a number of larger countries, such as Iraq.Keywords
