Dr. Samira Addrey graduated from Havana's Latin American School of Medicine with the dream of becoming a revolutionary doctor.
The Ghanaian-American physician now works with IFCO/Pastors for Peace so that other low-income youth can study medicine in Cuba and then go on to serve their communities in the U.S.
Belly of the Beast journalist Liz Oliva Fernández caught up with Dr. Addrey in Washington D.C. to talk about what she learned studying on the island for seven years; how Cuba's healthcare system compares with the United States’; and what she misses most about life in Havana.
