Em formal visita da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) à Cuba, a Diretora-Geral Margaret Chan traz a opinião da entidade sobre o sistema de saúde cubano (v. aqui).
Muita gente cortará os pulsos, ou falará que a cúpula da OMC recebe propina do governo cubano, que a Agência Reuteurs distorce as informações porque tem lucrativa parceria com o Granma, que toda a Diretoria da entidade passou todo o tempo embriagada de rum etc.
"(...) Chan said she toured Cuban medical facilities and came away impressed with the communist-led island's health system, which provides free care to all Cubans.
Citing its strong health indicators on such things as life expectancy and infant mortality, she said, 'in a country of this level of economic development, to be able to achieve those very good health indices is not easy'.
Cuba, she said, 'has the right vision and the right direction. Health is a state policy and health is seen as a right of the people'."
