 Due to the change in government in 1959, many physicians left Cuba for the United States, leaving the Cuban healthcare system in a much weakened condition. The government reacted to this by redefining healthcare as the social responsibility as well as a basic right of the individual citizen. They then worked to unify the national healthcare system to better provide medical services for all Cuban citizens.
As a result of this action, Cuban children were being vaccinated against 13 childhood diseases, more than any other country in the world, including that of the United States. Cuba was also able to entirely eradicate a host of diseases and has been able to keep infectious diseases to a minimum.
