Cuban doctors head to Italy to battle coronavirus

Communist-run Cuba said it dispatched a brigade of doctors and nurses to Italy for the first time this weekend to help in the fight against the novel coronavirus at the request of the worst-affected region Lombardy.

Are we supposed to condemn these people? It seems to me they are good world citizens.

Definitely not! Not everyone in Cuba supports the regime, and even if they do... if they want to be kind, selfless people, let them.

No Government has 100% Support. Those that do are lying about it. It's time to Live and Let Live in regards to Cuba.

Actually that has been the one good thing about the Cuban regime. Castro set up the medical system so that there were plenty of doctors and support staff. They may not be the best trained-I doubt anyone flies to Cuba for a tough heart operation, cancer therapy, etc. but their system is designed to handle the "everyday" stuff quickly and at minimal cost. They have been sending medical teams to third world countries for decades.

Heck, even Putin is cashing in on good publicity by offering to help out Italy.

They have a pretty well trained medical system.
I'd rather be poor in Cuba than the USA if I had poor health.
