Invest in Cuba's health sector
Foreign direct investment in Cuba is considered a source of development for the country. Cuba's foreign-investment policy prioritizes, among export sectors, tourism — and within it, health tourism — as well as the modernization of infrastructure, oriented to sustaining and developing the universal, free Cuban National Health System.

Future Investments & Joint Projects
Cuba Medical City
International Health & Wellness Hub
A visionary master-planned medical and wellness campus planned for development in Cuba — and, where mutually agreeable, replicated in partner third countries. Cuba Medical City brings together international hospitals, biotechnology and research, wellness and rehabilitation, and patient accommodation within a single, integrated, greenfield campus.
SMC Salud is opening this flagship project to strategic investors and government partners seeking joint ventures in next-generation healthcare infrastructure. The master plan is adaptable to local contexts and regulatory frameworks, enabling co-development in Cuba and in third countries where bilateral agreement makes it possible.

In the extraction of natural resources, public services, biotechnology, wholesale trade and tourism, Cuban participation will always be in the majority.
In projects contemplating the export of goods or services, the foreign part will guarantee the market.
