Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba (Spanish: República de Cuba) is a country comprising the island of Cuba, as well as Isla de la Juventud and several minor archipelagos. Having fought against European and American colonizers and military occupation for its independence, the now-independent state is governed by the Communist Party of Cuba.
Its economy is run within the context of Marxism-Leninism, it began as a Soviet-style planned economy, but having seen the recent economic successes of the People's Republic of China with to Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, the Communist Party of Cuba has recently been liberalizing to attract foreign investment and build up a more prosperous socialist society.[1]
Cuban healthcare is widely renowned throughout the world due to the healthcare diplomacy of sending doctors to poor nations which do not have advanced healthcare systems, as well as impressive innovation in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.[2][3]
