Confronting Covid-19 Cuba's Approach to Healthcare to All
THURSDAY, APRIL 22ND
12 NOON PST, 3 PM EST
Join Drs. Helen Yaffe and Valia Rodriguez, producers of the film "Cuba and COVID-19," for a transnational conversation on how Cuba is defeating this deadly coronavirus.
Cuba spends only 4% of the dollars per patient as the US health system. Yet the Covid-19 case rate is 50+ times higher in the U.S. than in Cuba, and the death rate is 85+ times higher. What lessons can we in the U.S. learn from Cuba’s remarkable system of health care for all?

Seattle-based organizations Northwest Film Forum (NWFF), a nonprofit community hub and film center, and Design in Public (DiP), a strategic initiative of AIA Seattle, join forces once again to present the 21st Annual ByDesign Festival.

The Seattle Cuba Friendship group encourages you to learn more about Cuban life and support NWFF by watching this film. Cuba has a thriving arts community that continues to engage in groundbreaking work in spite of the economic hardships they face from the US imposed embargo. The individuals featured in this film lived through the devastating effects of the "special period" of extreme economic depression during the 1990s. This time in their lives continues to impact them to this day. We are looking forward to learning more and enjoying the stunning visuals.
