Cuba’s universal, free #HealthCare has long been heralded as an example of what is possible for countries in the #GlobalSouth. But in recent years, Cuba has been devastated by #US sanctions, and a mosquito-borne #epidemic has put its once-vaunted healthcare system to the test.

We take a deep dive into this recent health crisis, which has been exacerbated by shortages of fuel, #medicine and equipment. Interviews with patients, their family members and doctors show how a #PublicHealth system designed to offer preventative care has been forced into crisis management.

H5N1 bird flu: A confluence of factors makes industrial production of chicken & dairy an effective incubator for #H5N1. It's already widespread in mammals, e.g. cows. The missing element for an #epidemic is human to human transmission. Seems only question of time. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03613-4
