Cuba: 63rd Regular Session of the Human Rights Council – Geneva [9.9.2026] – Statement By Ambassador Rodolfo Benitez Verson! (10.9.2026)

The perverse and deliberate purpose of the United States is to cause extreme shortages and total asphyxiation to Cuban families. They are trying to invoice a humanitarian tragedy to destabilise the country and achieve their political objectives.

In what constitutes an unprecedented reinforcement of the blockade, since last January the United States has imposed a brutal energy siege against Cuba. They threaten reprisals against any country that supplies oil to the island. The shortage of fuels has had a devastating impact on almost all areas of society.

Due to a lack of electricity and supplies, the national health system is forced to postpone non-urgent surgeries to prioritize life-defining ones. More than 100,000 patients are waiting for surgery, of which 12,000 are children. Life expectancy for children with cancer fell from 85% to 65%. The infant mortality rate has grown from 4.4 per thousand births in 2018 to 9.9 in 2025. Of the 395 drugs that Cuba produces within its basic health system, 300 are in short supply due to difficulties in accessing raw materials.

Cuba: An International School for Health & Hope! (3.9.2026)

At the end of this academic year, Cuban universities delivered 30,185 new professionals to the country and the world. Engineers, architects, pedagogues, scientists, nurses, technologists… Young people who have sweated in the classrooms, who have studied with just the right resources, who have overcome fatigue and adversity to become what this country needs to move forward.

Among those 30,185 there are 735 young people from 62 countries. Students who came from all continents – Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe – who shared desks with Cubans, who learned our language, our medicine, our solidarity, our way of understanding life as service. Who return to their lands with a degree and, also, with a way of seeing the world that is not taught in any manual.

And among them, two figures should make the blindest pause: 23 new Palestinian doctors.

Young people who will return to their land – a land that burns under bombs and rubble – not with weapons in their hands, but with stethoscopes around their necks. With the knowledge to save lives in the place in the world where it is most needed. With the ethics that Cuban medicine instills: first the human being, then everything else.

Cuban Heart Loves the People!

Cuba: At the Heart of Socialist Education! (27.8.2026)

Then, in the itinerary, it was the turn of the “Cepero Bonilla” school. And finally, the Cuban President arrived at the Urgent Shelter, that space designed for children, adolescents or young people who are in a situation of extreme vulnerability to be protected quickly while specialists define a differentiated care strategy.

From this new foster care space – which is a kind of transition – minors can go to a Home, or to the bosom of a family, or a loved one who decides to adopt parental responsibility. For all children, the new school year and the value of learning is a common fortune.

This Wednesday morning, while Díaz-Canel toured the “Víbora” Popular Council in the capital’s municipality of Diez de Octubre, where there is more than one institution vital to human dignity, a truth remained standing while new cribs, tables, chairs, toys or backpacks could be seen: Cuba in Revolution does not abandon a single one of its children.

Young Doctors Oppose US Blockade!

Cuba: Young Doctors Denounce the Criminal Impact of the Blockade! (31.3.2026)

Since 1948, the UK initiated a Soviet-style healthcare system paid for by collective taxation – and delivered free at the point of use for all people. Since 1979, however, various governments – including Labour, have bent to US and EU pressure to get rid of the NHS and replace it with a US style system of insurance-based care dependent upon income and status (the rich receive better care than the poor). The NHS is slowly being dismantled and replaced with a deficient, ruthless, and uncaring healthcare system designed to bankrupt an individual over just one injury or illness that needs specialist treatment. As a consequence, young GPs today trained in the UK think that free healthcare is immoral and that it is both natural and right for people to pay extortionate amounts of money for medical treatment. Eyes, eyes, and teeth already have completely been privatised and the body is following along. People are suffering in the UK during this transition. Between 1991-2000 around 10 million Russian people died from medical neglect following the rapid and sudden withdrawal of free health in the former Soviet Union. A similar situation must have existed in the fourteen other countries that comprised the USSR. The West ignored this atrocity (seeing it as natural) – whilst capitalist (Trotskyite) Russians treated it with a sense of denial. The US is currently attempting to destroy Cuban Socialism – and I think they are very close to achieving this objective. The capitalist world does not care and will accept all kinds of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity – just as long as any form of Socialism is destroyed.

Jamaica Expels Cuban Doctors for Trump!

Cuba: Ungrateful Jamaican Government “Expels” Doctors Providing “Free” Medical Services in the Service of Racist Trump! (8.3.2026)

Cuba regrets decision of the government of Jamaica to cease medical cooperation by giving in to pressure from the United States

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba informs that, on March 4, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Jamaica informed our Embassy in that country of its government’s unilateral decision to terminate the cooperation agreement on health matters that has linked both nations for decades.

With this action, the government of Jamaica gives in to pressure from the United States government, which is not concerned about the health needs of the Caribbean brothers.

Cuba deeply regrets that a history of fruitful and sustained collaboration that has brought countless benefits to the Jamaican people, who are now deprived of the basic and specialized health services provided by Cuban collaborators, is underestimated in this way.

In view of the step taken by the government of Jamaica, the government of Cuba has taken the sovereign decision to proceed with the return of the Cuban Medical Brigade. These health professionals leave behind an indelible mark and return to Cuba with the satisfaction of having fulfilled their duty and the permanent willingness to assist wherever their vocation of solidarity is required.

CJNG Cartel Strikes Out At Mexican Authorities!

Mexico: Heavily-Armed Drug Cartels “Declare War” on Civic Government! (23.2.2026)

Meanwhile, President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico has been transferred onto a ship belonging to the Mexican Navy for her safety after the killing of drug lord ‘El Mencho’ – as the Mexican authorities are said to be unable to guarantee her safety on the land. If the Mexican Army is able to defeat the US-backed Cartels (something they have been unable to do in the last 30-years) – then I suspect Trump will then destroy the Mexican government (which has continuously failed to build an effective capitalist and liberal democratic State submissive to the US) – replacing it with a far-right civic-friendly equivalent that worships at the feet of Trump. Mexico needs a (Marxist-Leninist) Red Army.
