North London CUBA SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN


Screening of two short documentaries about the Cuban health care in practice.

If you are interested in Cuba, this is an ideal event to learn more about this country and to receive up to date news.


The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Dr Doris Doberenz, a German doctor working in a London Hospital who will give a short talk based on her experience as a doctor of the Cuban health system. She has visited Cuba on many occasions and visited ELAM, the Escuela Latino Americana de Medecina near Havana, that has trained doctors from all over the world for free.


FROM GAZA TO CUBA (short film)

As the U.S. continues to fund Israel's genocide in Gaza, Cuba, branded a State Sponsor of Terrorism by the U.S., trains hundreds of Palestinian doctors for free.

From Gaza to Cuba tells the story of Murid Abukhater, a Palestinian medical student from Gaza studying at Cuba’s Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM). While his family and friends face the daily onslaught of Israel’s bombing, Murid struggles to focus on his studies. Learn more about Murid and his mission to return home and help save lives.

CUBA'S ASTOUNDING HEALTH CARE SYTEM (short film)

For 60 years, the United States has enforced a crippling embargo against the island of Cuba in order to “bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government,” according to a 1960 State Department memorandum. But against the odds, Cuba has developed a revolutionary model of scientific innovation and medical provision that has not only ensured universal health care for its own citizens, but also — through its world-renowned medical brigades — delivered high-quality care to millions of people across the Global South free of charge. Dr. Samira M. Addrey — a graduate of Cuba's Latin American School of Medicine — tells the story of Cuba’s socialist health care model that the US government desperately does not want you to know.
