About Cuba
Cuba is located in the Caribbean Sea, near the coasts of Mexico and the United States. The largest of the Antilles has a moderate subtropical climate, with a dry season from November to April and a humid season from May to October. It is a very safe travel destination with a network of accommodations throughout the island.
For patients
Patients arrive with the medical program sent by our Coordination and Processing Center. Programs under 30 days enter with a Tourist Card; if treatment exceeds 60 days, a medical visa is required. Hospitalized patients stay in clinics or medical centers; outpatient patients are offered accommodation in the hotel of their choice, plus airport transfer services.
For students
Undergraduate and postgraduate students must present documents duly legalized by Cuban diplomatic representations abroad — degrees, transcripts, health certificate, criminal record, birth certificate, admission confirmation and Cuban health insurance.
Cuban health insurance via ASISTUR
Cuban health insurance must be purchased from ASISTUR — before travel or within one week of arrival in Cuba. If you already have insurance, ASISTUR will determine whether it is valid and compatible with their offered policies. The price is set by age, sex and medical conditions.
