Cuba houses one of the best medical schools in the world. The country has the lowest doctor-patient ratio in the world and sends its doctors all around the world to countries that are medically underserved. On top of that they provide free tuition medical programs to students from all over the world at their largest medical school ELAM, located 22 miles (35km) west of Havana. ELAM is The Latin American Medical School which was conceived by former President Fidel Castro following Hurricanes George and Mitch, which devastated parts of Central America and the Caribbean in 1998.

Please note that students at ELAM spend up to a year learning Spanish, Cuban history and culture, and then dive deep into a curriculum that is focused on preventative health.
