Cuba

Our Work

This treasured past will augment your first-hand discovery of the inner-workings of the famous health care system that Cubans are so proud of. IMR will be bringing much needed medical supplies and distributing them to hospitals, health care professionals, and patients for those patients most in need. IMR is also providing extensive supplies to Cuba to enable them to care for more patients. You will have the rare opportunity for medical exchange with engaging conversations about the health care system with local medical providers and officials and will tour healthcare facilities and meet patients one-on-one to learn about the intricacies of Cuban medicine. After distributing needed supplies you will be able to meet with families and learn about their own personal medical experiences. This engaging opportunity will leave you more knowledgeable about the Cuban health care system and also give you the opportunity to share your expertise and insights as well as make significant contributions of medical supplies to this country in great need. Spend time in the main city of Havana as well as a beautiful beach village, meet the vibrant people of Cuba, and bring home your unique knowledge of the Cuban healthcare system and the people of Cuba to your workplace, community, and your heart. Please note that you will not be providing medical care on this trip.

This Mission

Barely 90 miles off of Florida’s US coast, travel to Cuba by US citizens was strictly prohibited for the past five decades. Now, U.S. travel restrictions have been changed to allow Americans to visit Cuba with a licensed tour operator. These new regulations enable people-to-people travel with a cultural and educational focus that offers a great way to get an authentic look at this fascinating country and the Cuban health care system. Experience an enriching people-to-people health care exchange with IMR through our licensed partner. You will have the rare opportunity to see Cuba much differently than a tourist might. You will engage in enriching meetings, discussions, and interactive experiences designed to better inform you about the complicated and intricate health care system that currently exists in this developing country. While regulations have been lifted, you will see that the walk of life for the local Cubans remains intact with its history and heritage of old.

Lodging/Transportation

The team will have the special privilege to stay in beautiful, rare colonial-style bed and breakfast mansions certified by the government. Here you will enjoy quaint private rooms and private bathrooms, air conditioning, and other amenities, including kind and hospitable hosts to attend to your stay. Beautiful rare antiques and authentic food are unique comforts to be enjoyed in this location on the verge of change.
