Cuba's deployment of medical professionals abroad serves as a crucial economic driver for the island, generating substantial revenue through international contracts.

However, this practice has come under heightened scrutiny, particularly from the U.S. government, which has been vocal in its disapproval of these missions.

In light of U.S. pressure, several countries have begun to send Cuban doctors back to their home country, raising questions about the sustainability and future of Cuba's medical export strategy.
