Anguila

Executive summary

The Cuban medical mission to Anguilla began on 26 June 2020 under the Henry Reeve Contingent, deploying five health workers to the Princess Alexandra Hospital; the mission concluded with repatriation on 25 March 2021, now recorded as inactive with zero active personnel, having lasted nine months against an initially agreed six. Available figures appear internally consistent, with no evident discrepancy against independent sourcing. Documented violations include labour rights infringements tied to Cuba's internal legal framework—Decree 306, Resolution 368, and migration restrictions—reflecting a labour regime that subordinates medical personnel to state control even while serving abroad. No electoral mobilization is documented, though the mission's diplomatic negotiation, brokered through UK Foreign Office channels, illustrates how medical diplomacy masks systemic labour exploitation.
