WHAT PUTS CUBA ON THE MAP IN THE QUEST FOR GLOBAL HEALTHCARE

Free Screening and Dinner
Q&A with Nancy Kohn from the Access Project    
Wednesday, October 29

Film Synopsis: ¡Salud!looks at the curious case of Cuba, a cash-strapped
country with what the BBC calls ‘one of the world’s best health systems.’
>From the shores of Africa to the Americas, !Salud!hits the road with some of
the 28,000 Cuban health professionals serving in 68 countries, and explores
the hearts and minds of international medical students in Cuba -- now
numbering 30,000, including nearly 100 from the USA.  Their stories plus
testimony from experts around the world bring home the competing agendas
that mark the battle for global health—and the complex realities confronting
the movement to make healthcare everyone’s birth right .
