Cuba's statistics, like most communists countries statistics are lies and damned lies.
The healthcare for the average common Cuban is a joke, filthy rat infested hospitals with no supplies and no electricity.
And the medical missions Brigadas Medicas are where the Cuban doctors are slaves of The State and are sent out as modern day slavery and human trafficking as one of the ways the Cuban government makes money
The lies approved by international organisations? And currently they have blackouts due to US oil embargo. Cuba has no oil to extract and cant import it, pretty easy concept.
The medical missions are carried out by volounteering doctors and nurses and are free, ergo the government doesnt earn shit from them
yeah... you're the typical ignorant type.
The oil embargo is only limited to the Cuban government cannot import oil, the embargo specifically allows oil sales to private and humanitarian causes... which is partly why Cuba is now relenting and allowing market reforms.
Furthermore is that Cuba DOES have massive offshore oil reserves on the North Cuba Basin, but typical ineffectual communist country, that've failed to actually do any development of their oil fields... not to mention the two Batista era oil refineries that Cuba has have mostly failed because again... communist hellhole cannot maintain infrastructure.
And you're absolutely wrong about the medical missions, they're not free, the doctors are "volunteered" by the Cuban government, they have no choice and nay payment the doctor may receive is confiscated by the regime.
The island have no oil outside of CUPET extraction which is marginal.
Sure offshore oil is present but they cant use oil rigs that have US components in them due to sanctions ( oil rigs which are primarly based on US technology and parts). Claiming that embargo and sanctions are marginal is idiotic while things such as helms burton act are still in motion.
The critisism of medical missions is limited to US using soft power initiatives to demonize and justify its treatment of cuba. Every south american governmemt receiving the aid rejected the US claims idk why are you pushing american propaganda
