Who We Are

About MEDICC

Medical Education Cooperation with Cuba (MEDICC) is a non-profit organization working to enhance cooperation among the US, Cuban and global health communities aimed at better health outcomes. Founded in 1997, our experience has taught us that health care in the United States and developing countries alike – especially for underserved populations – can be informed by Cuba’s singular and evolving health practices, research and policies.  We see that the US experience in medicine and medical research can also inform practice in Cuba and the developing world.  Above all, we believe that such cooperation is urgently needed to radically improve global health and achieve the birthright of health for all worldwide.

Vision

Health for All is Possible

Mission
