Cuba To Start A Pan-African University Of Medicine by panafrican(op): 1:19pm On Apr 03, 2020
Japan's public television NHK said Cuba is about to start a PanAfrican University of Medicine. The project will be led by
ELAM , Cuba's renowned university.
The goal is to have doctors capable of working under difficult conditions. They should be about to make accurate diagnostic, even in remote areas a total lack of laboratory tests.
What is ELAM ?
Escuela Latinoamericana de Medicina (ELAM), formerly Escuela Latinoamericana de Ciencias Médicas (in Spanish; in English: Latin American School of Medicine (LASM), formerly Latin American School of Medical Sciences), is a major international medical school in Cuba and a prominent part of the Cuban healthcare system.

Established in 1999 and operated by the Cuban government, ELAM has been described as possibly being the largest medical school in the world by enrollment, with approximately 19,550 students from 110 countries reported as enrolled in 2013.[1] All those enrolled are international students from outside Cuba and mainly come from Latin America and the Caribbean as well as Africa and Asia. The school accepts students from the United States — 91 were reportedly enrolled as of January 2007. Tuition, accommodation and board are free, and a small stipend is provided for students


The mission of ELAM is to make competent and cooperative doctors with the degree of MD (doctor of medicine), the same degree which is offered to medical graduates all over the Americas. The Latin American School of Medicine is officially recognized by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and the World Health Organization. It is fully accredited by the Medical Board of California, which has the strictest US standards — which means that qualified US graduates of the Latin American School of Medicine are eligible to apply for residency placements in any state of the US.

This might be coming on the heels of talks with a top Nigerian government functionary who is purportedly in Cuba for medical tourism.
