The Cuban Development Model: Adresses that we need a fundamental change in our current economic system.
Current symptoms of the economic crisis:
Currently over 1 billion people go to bed hungry each night; every 30seconds one person dies of malaria; Life expectancy in Brittan is 68, while in Africa it is 42.

Despite being blockaded, invaded and marginalized in the past several decades, Cuba has still been able to increase their standard of living, and the standard of living of impoverished countries.

The UN ranks the Cuban Government as number one (in the world) for using its resources toward social goals of increasing life expectancy and quality of life.

Cuba not only sends Doctors to other countries, but it also helps to create medical schools in third world nations. Even when Cuba is considered a poor country on it's own.
From 1998-2008 117,709,248 patients were treated by Cuban Doctors outside of Cuba, performing 2,831,870 operations. Including after Hurricane Mitch.
Measuring Cuban medical internationalism: Infant mortality rates fell in an area of Honduras from 25% to 19% after Cuban medical aide.
