Does Cuba have better medical equipment and doctors than South American countries? Even Diego Morodona went to Cuba for treatment.

Cuba's medical system is very good if not par with other countries, they also have best cancer treatment facilities.......
They don't have the best cancer treatment facilities. They lack many of the targeted (highly localized) cancer killing radiation and chemotheraphy techniques that are now common in the USA. Also they lack the routine use of state-of-the art imaging systems, such as positron emission tomography, which are important to monitoring the progress of radiation and chemotherapy treatments. If you have cancer, the best place for treatment is the USA.
And who says Chemotherapy is an effective treatment?
There are few choices for treating most cancers: surgery, radiation to kill the tumor or chemotherapy to kill the tumors. "Effective" is a relative term. If chemotherapy saved the lives of 1 in 10 for a certain cancer type, as compared to 0 in 10 survivors among those who receive no treatment, would you call chemotherapy "effective"? Chemotherapy does help some cancer patients, perhaps, however, not even a majority of patients. On the other hand, no treatment helps none. Chemotherapy is unpleasant. It is a tough decision. Do I try chemotherapy in the oft chance I may be helped, even though I will be miserable? Or do I let the disease take it's natural course. Most patients opt for the chance to survive and take the chemotherapy.
