Abstract

MEDICC Review is a unique open-access platform for Latin American and Caribbean praxis addressing today's critical interactions between human health, development of sustainable societies, and the health of our planet. Drawing upon the contributions of the region in social medicine, social movements, rich diversity and scientifi c prowess, Latin America and Caribbean authors published in the journal can help fi ll gaps in thinking and evidence sorely needed to build a sustainable future and a hopeful legacy for future generations.We look forward to contributing to increased visibility for their work and to its positive impact on both regional integration and worldwide solutions.MEDICC Review is published by MEDICC, a US nonprofi t organization founded in 1997, based in Oakland, California, USA, and dedicated to US, Cuban and global health cooperation and equity.
