Primary Health Care in Cuba The Other

Cuba's primary health care system is a well-known and well-hidden jewel of global health care. It has eradicated malaria and polio, and curtailed HIV/AIDS and dengue fever. This book focuses on the successes of Cuba's preventive primary health care system, rather than the deficit of the curative care system.

Laurence G. Branch is professor of health policy and management in the College of Public Health at the University of South Florida.
