Dude, the reality of Cuban healthcare it's very different of what you see in the news. Foreign people are banned to enter the hospitals used by the regular people. There are special hospitals for foreigners, and Cubans cannot go there unless you have very good connections or you pay an insane amount of cash under the table(keep in mind that the average wage in Cuba is about 25$ a month and with food prices quite similar than the US). On regular people's hospitals there are shortages of meds quite often, with people having to go to the back market to get the meds they need.

Take for example here: (You can use google translate)

is the shortage of meds due to the embargo, or to a general disastrous state of the economy?
