What I thought was most interesting in the Cuba case was how little technology it takes to train Doctors. Outside of surgery Doctors tend to have other people doing the high tech hands on work like operating an MRI or Doing blood-work. But, as they training people to operate in the 3rd world even surgery tends to be fairly low tech.
In reality it's the opportunity costs that makes training doctors so expensive. So, in many ways less developed nations have a huge cost advantage when supplying doctors. The real issue is after exporting them they probably don't send all that much money back home.
