"Of all the so-called developing nations, Cuba has by far the best health system. And their outreach program to other countries is unequaled anywhere."
Former President Jimmy Carter, appearing in Salud!
A FILM ABOUT WIPING OUT THE DISEASES OF POVERTY AND MAKING HEALTH CARE A BASIC RIGHT.
A feature documentary directed by Academy Award nominee Connie Field and co-produced by Gail Reed, SALUD! spans three continents to portray the philosophy and health professionals that place Cuba on the map in the worldwide movement for health.
The film's cameras travel to The Gambia, rural South Africa, coastal villages of Honduras and river settlements in the Amazon, where a Cuban is often the first doctor a poor community has ever seen. In some nations they staff entire health systems.
