hi all

it might be worthwhile looking at the cuban model of primary care.
cuban primary care mds, working and dedicated to a particular
neighborhood, are charged with treatment, diagnosis, rehabilitation,
and, critically, prevention of illness.  working with a practice nurse
in close affiliation with barrio (neighborhood) organizations, the cuban
health care system has produced extraordinary results with limited
resources.  as cubans say "we live like poor people but die like rich
ones" ie.  the average life span and the causes of mortality in cuba are
more akin to a developed country the developing ones...

is there anyone on this email list from cuba or latin america???
