Black Doctors Call Out Cuba Blockade’s Human Toll

The National Medical Association (NMA), the oldest and largest organization representing Black physicians and health professionals in the U.S., released a statement Wednesday expressing “deep concern” about the consequences of the Trump administration’s blockade against Cuba.

“As physicians committed to health equity and global health justice, we call for immediate removal of elements of the blockade that have led to the humanitarian and health impacts affecting the people of Cuba,” reads the statement.
