  "abstract": "Child health in Cuba has been a major success of the Cuban revolution. Child mortality has been lower than in neighbouring countries and education has been universal and free. More recently, however, child mortality rates have been increasing. Under-5 child mortality rates have increased from 6.0 to 8.3 per 1000 live births over the last decade. Infant mortality has also increased from 4.0 to 9.9 per 1000 live births.1 One needs to understand why this has been happening.",
