Health insurance in Cuba

Cuba has no insurance agreement with other countries, therefore it asks all incoming tourists to have private accident insurance and health insurance prior to arrival, for the duration of their stay.

Any claim for damages in Cuba is excluded; therefore we recommend that you close private insurance with sufficient coverage.

Not only does Cuba not have any insurance agreement with other states, but it has no insurance at all. This is not because Cuba could not do it, but because the mere idea of „insurance” would make no sense in their cultural structure. Therefore, Cubans are not insured either. Never. Against nothing at all. This is good to know because it could interfere with any possible damages claim. A Cuban car driver cannot be insured, there is no insurance in Cuba. And there is also nobody to ask for damages in case of an accident.
