A letter demanding data on Cuban medical missions roils the Caribbean and the Americas
- A regional human rights body requested information from Organization of American States members regarding Cuba’s international medical missions amid growing tensions in 2025.
- This request followed U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visa restrictions on officials linked to Cuban medical missions announced in late February 2025.
- Caribbean leaders like Ralph Gonsalves and Mia Mottley expressed concern but highlighted the vital role of Cuban doctors, including running a $5 million hemodialysis center serving 64 patients in St. Vincent.
- Rubio defended visa restrictions stating they promote accountability, while Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized the campaign as an attempt to cut off Cuba’s income from healthcare abroad.
- The commission plans to analyze collected data and offer recommendations due to persistent reports of labor rights violations amid divided regional responses.
