10. Very true. Cuba's Operation Miracle has performed close to 1/2 million eye surgeries in poor countries around the world.

As you might know, I am a retired DDS.
I go to Cuba often.
When I go I always bring dental supplies, repair parts, ultrasound and portable digital imaging machines and tools.
Shipping is super expensive - due to the US's extraterritorial sanctions on shippers who do biz in/with Cuba.
I can't say much more about what I do when there, but, it's voluntary.
One won't find more dedicated medical professionals than one finds in Cuba. Period.
