Cuba has long been a dedicated ally to the Caribbean nations, contributing significantly to the region’s social and economic development. The island has provided support in various sectors, especially in healthcare, where Cuban doctors, nurses, and medical professionals have volunteered their expertise across the Caribbean. Thousands of Cuban-trained medical personnel have helped improve the health sector in nations that otherwise might not have the resources for such care. In addition to healthcare, Cuba has provided scholarships for Caribbean students, enabling many to receive higher education in a variety of fields.
