Cuba has a program that sends doctors and medical professionals to other countries. The US is critical of this program, calling it 'forced labor' and 'human trafficking'. The program began over 60 years ago and provides medical aid to impoverished communities. Cuba gets paid for the services, but the doctors only receive a small percentage of the payment.
