The increase in the world's elderly population during the 1990s had a powerful impact on the Caribbean island of Cuba. Health care is considered a human right for all citizens. Through its extensive gerontology and geriatrics programs Cuba has developed innovative approaches to address the growth of the older population and related societal challenges. The article also explores the role of social workers in a predominantly socialist society from the perspective of a social work professor visiting Cuba from the US
