At a hearing last week, Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) asked Katherine Dueholm, the principal deputy assistant secretary for the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, what the #US was doing to stop #Cuba’s #MedicalCooperation missions. “We are taking a global push to encourage countries to step out of this program,” Dueholm answered.

Cuba’s international medical cooperation missions have operated in dozens of countries worldwide since the 1960s. They usually provide healthcare for the poorest of the poor in Global South countries. Cuban doctors volunteer to go on these missions, where they are paid many times more than what they make in Cuba.
