Executive summary

Cuba's medical presence in the United States dates to 1992, when a brigade was deployed exclusively to United Nations agencies, never treating American patients; this pattern recurred in 2005 and 2008 with two health workers, before the mission became inactive, with zero personnel currently active. No discrepancies in official statistics were identified, given the minimal historical scale of only two accumulated collaborators. While no country-specific incidents are documented, the mission remained subject to standard structural constraints—Cuba's Resolution 368/2020, Penal Code article 176, Migration Law provisions, and Decree 306/2012—governing personnel abroad. Even where interaction with the host population was absent, the architecture of control traveled with the workers.
