"I salute */¡Salud!/* for teaching us how much we can learn not just
about - but from - Cuba."
*Julian Bond, Chairman of the Board - National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)*
/*/"¡Salud!/*/ /is an excellent, accurate and deeply moving portrayal
of a healthcare system designed to keep people healthy rather than
the 'sickcare' system that currently exists in the United States."/
*Jocelyn Elders, MD, former U.S. Surgeon General*
*/"/**/¡/*/*/Salud/*/*/!/* is compelling, upbeat and moving, a great
tool for learning." --*Dr. Paul Farmer, **Partners in Health and
Harvard University Medical School*

"*/¡/*/*/Salud/*/*/! /*should be required viewing for all medical
students." --*Jay Bhatt, President*, *American Medical Students
Association*

*What puts Cuba on the map in the quest for global health....*
* *
A timely film about the competing values that mark the battle for
global health... Beautifully filmed in Cuba, South Africa, The
Gambia, Honduras and Venezuela, */¡/*/*/Salud/*/*/!/* suggests bold
new approaches to the development of the human resources that are
critical for making health care a global birthright. The film*
*examines the remarkable case of Cuba, a cash-strapped country with
what the BBC calls "one of the world's best health systems," and
explores Cuba's extensive global health initiatives. /
*¡*//*/Salud/*/*/!/** *accompanies some of the 28,000 Cuban health
professionals now staffing public health systems in over 60
countries. Their stories, and those of approximately 30,000 young
medical students from the Americas, Africa and Asia who are currently
studying in Cuba, challenge us to rethink the potential for
international health cooperation.
Directed and produced by Academy Award nominee Connie Field (The Life
and Times of Rosie the Riveter, Freedom on My Mind); Gail Reed, co-
producer
