Dr. Felsenstein’s talk titled, “Cuba’s Health Care System: How it works and why the concepts could help the US.”, focused on the primary, secondary, and tertiary care concepts of Cuba’s health care system, and how some of their public health philosophies could possibly help improve overall health for the US population.
