For decades, the #LatinAmericanSchoolOfMedicine (ELAM) in Cuba has trained tens of thousands of students from more than 100 countries, including hundreds from the #US and across the #GlobalSouth.

Rooted in the idea that #healthcare is a human right, Cuba’s #medical education system seeks to train doctors who are both scientifically skilled and socially committed. Many #ELAM students do not wait until graduation to put those values into practice.

In this video, we hear from two #doctors from the US who studied at ELAM and last year led a brigade of mostly #African medical students to #GuineaBissau to provide health education and medical consultations.

[A video about #Cuba, hosted on the #PeerTube server #CuddlyTube, from the #news / #video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

Dr. Luther Castillo Harris was the first Garífuna* to graduate from Harvard University. But his journey began in the classrooms of Havana, Cuba. He earned his medical degree from the #LatinAmericanSchoolOfMedicine (#ELAM) in Cuba. Now he is serving as Honduras’ Secretary of State for Science and Technology.

Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández sat down with Dr. Castillo recently to talk about his inspiring personal journey and the impact of Cuba’s international #HealthInternationalism.

From Gaza to Cuba - 10/06/2024

[A #video on #PeerTube about #Cuba from the video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

The #US continues to fund #Israel's genocide in #Gaza, while Cuba, branded a State Sponsor of Terrorism by the U.S., is quietly training hundreds of #Palestinian doctors for free.

From Gaza to Cuba tells the story of Murid Abukhater, a Palestinian medical student from Gaza studying at Cuba’s #LatinAmericanSchoolOfMedicine (#ELAM). While his family and friends face the daily onslaught of Israel’s bombing, Murid struggles to focus on his studies. He dreams of returning to Gaza as a doctor to help save lives.
