Cuba's Resilient Free Medical Education Flourishes Amid 63 Years of U.S. Blockade

The 25th Anniversary Congress of ELAM Graduates took place in Havana, showcasing the presence of Cuba's Health and Foreign Affairs Ministers alongside ELAM's Rector. Among the distinguished attendees was Dr. Samira Addrey, a proud graduate from the class of 2020, who is now passionately involved in facilitating scholarships aimed at supporting marginalized communities worldwide. Even in the face of a relentless 63-year US blockade, Cuba steadfastly upholds its dedication to global medical education and the spirit of solidarity. This enduring commitment not only exemplifies the resilience of the Cuban ethos but also reflects a broader vision of healthcare equity and the importance of nurturing future generations of medical professionals who can empower underserved populations.
