I don't think these are best things to compare. Cuba is socialistic country (which means
that good of all people is most important value ) and they have some of best health care system in the world because big companies couldn't access them because their isolation.
Since you are from Serbia, you know how often people from here go to Cuba to be cured for most incredible things not available to rest of the world. Also, you know probably that soon lung cancer vaccine will be made in Serbia under supervision and licence from Cuban doctors (delayed for years, my guess is because of big companies since people from around the world will hear and start spreading). They have technology that lung cancer treat as any other illness and stop it not to spread and save patient life.
Recent example is one of Serbian famous actors that was almost dead and with gangrena and with stroke, recently came from Cuba and now filming new series in age of 80 and everyone thought he was practically dead before he went there. These are just small examples of how advanced Cubans are in medical research and health care.
Also, Serbia is also not good example to compare because they are still using hospitals and system made during socialism. Two weeks ago I've came from Military Medical Academy (it is opened for civilians also)because my mom broke her leg. There was immediate operation, and care and it costed nothing. Job was done perfectly and professional without any additional costs. But VMA (medical military academy) is also left from socialism in a same way complete system works. You also know that this was state of the art hospital, mostly underground ready for chemical and biological warfare and that Serbs made many such hospitals in different countries worldwide (as a business). On the other side, maybe there is low mortality rate with newborns but that is not covering complete situation where people are waiting for months or even year to get their turn on other free services. (we both know that free health system here is destroyed so people can make private business and earn big money).
So, maybe would be best to compare with countries that were not (are),socialistic....I don't know, for example. Germany,Norway,Italy....that would be interesting to see.
