Life stories of Cuban internationalist healthcare professionals

Professor Stéphanie Panichelli-Batalla's research delves into the personal narratives of Cuban internationalist healthcare professionals, examining how their experiences on medical missions have influenced their identities and life trajectories. In 2014, she initiated the "Life Stories of Cuban Internationalist Healthcare Professionals" project, conducting interviews across the United States, Cuba, and Tanzania. In total she conducted 40+ interviews. This work aims to understand the impact of Cuba's international medical solidarity programs on the individuals involved. It sheds light on the complexities of their experiences and the nuanced realities of Cuba's medical internationalism. Her research provides a comprehensive understanding of the personal and socio-political dimensions of Cuba's medical diplomacy through the voices of the Cuban healthcare professionals. Stéphanie’s research has been presented at national and international conferences and her work been published in peer-reviewed journals and wider audience publications.
