Abstract:
As a low-and middle-income country, Cuba has successfully implementedUniversal Health Coverage ( UHC) in the true sense, of which the major health indicators and human development index are relatively high. Moreover, many aspects of Cuba's healthcare system are worth learning from, especially constructing family doctor system, integrating medicine policy into national economic and social development strategies, focusing on drug re-search and development, standardizing high-quality medical education, etc.
