You should not underestimate other countries such as Cuba in regards to their medical/health capabilities.
Cuba has a lower infant mortality rate (5.3 per thousand) than both Canada (5.5) and the U.S. (8.26).
The life expectancy in Cuba (78.6 years) is higher than in the U.S (77.9 years).
Cuba is a poor country which has placed its priorities in the right places, which is to say, in education and health services. It is a socialist country that offers complete free education and health care to all citizens. That is why these two sectors are particularly well-developed and may be the envy of many developed countries.
