The two things Castro predicted as Cuba's main teachings became a great nation. Health problems also get a large portion. This concern is because health matters are often taken lightly by the previous regime.
The reduced health budget is exacerbated by the lack of health facilities here and there being a cause. Castro doesn't want that to continue. He wants the Cuban people to be educated through education, and to build their body through quality health services.
