you mean how cuba has developed multiple cancer treatments that are not available in the usa?

in fact, medical care in cuba in general is doing more with less. they've achieved efficacy and efficiency in ways we'd never imagine. there is a reason they have a higher life expectancy than us (and its years better when you isolate out the rich). they also were the first country to prevent transmission of hiv from mother to baby. things like that

also, cuba is one of the only countries that is considered environmentally sustainable longterm

That's true. But I remember hearing how they've suffered a lot from lack of food and stuff, though.

yes, especially after the ussr collapse. it was called the "special period" because there was a lot of food that was imported. this forced cuba to focus for over 2 decades on food independence, community gardens, agriculture, and the like. times can still be lean there due to the embargoes but things are better than the 90s
