Romania

Executive summary

Romania's medical mission relationship with Cuba remains inactive, with no historical accumulated personnel and zero active staff currently deployed, despite a bilateral health cooperation agreement signed on 18 October 2022 and valid for five years with automatic renewal. Notably, Romania received no Cuban medical brigades even during the Covid-19 pandemic, making statistical discrepancies moot given the absence of any documented participation. While no country-specific labour violations are recorded due to the mission's inactivity, the profile references standard structural violations embedded in Cuba's export system—including passport retention under Decree 306, movement restrictions under Resolution 368, and forced labour conditions under the Código Ético. A cooperation framework exists, yet no doctors were ever sent. An agreement without missions reveals cooperation as paper, not practice.
