Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Cuban government's efforts to modernize the healthcare system and improve healthcare access for all citizens are driving the adoption of digital treatment and care solutions in the country. Additionally, the growing internet penetration rate and the availability of affordable smartphones are making it easier for people to access digital health services. Despite some challenges related to internet connectivity and infrastructure, the Cuban market presents opportunities for digital health companies to innovate and cater to the evolving healthcare needs of the population.
