Speaker: David Ramirez Alvarez, Second Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba
Secretary Ramirez Alvarez is former Cuban attaché to the U.S. General Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is currently Second Secretary in the Cuban Embassy, representing Cuba’s cultural and political forces sectors. He will be presenting an historical and current analysis of the Cuban health care system, how it differs from our profit-driven system, how Cuba provides comprehensive primary and quaternary health services in the face of a decades’ long illegal and brutal U.S. blockade and still has better outcomes than ours. Ramirez Alvarez will also address how the training of health care providers and scientists in Cuba is intimately connected to the socialist culture derived from the Cuban Revolution. Is a socialist culture necessary to displace our capitalist health care system?
