The U.S. government is at war with Cuban doctors working in other countries. Now 24,180 Cuban healthcare providers, mostly doctors, perform duties in 56 countries. On February 17, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced sanctions aimed at people associated with Cuba’s medical missions. He indicated that “current or former Cuban government officials, and other individuals, including foreign government officials … [and] the immediate family of such persons” would not receive visas for entry into the United States.
