 Like other countries in Oceania, Kiribati is a beneficiary of Cuban medical aid; bilateral relations between Tarawa and Havana must be viewed within the scope of Cuba's regional policy in Oceania.In 2007, there were sixteen doctors providing specialised medical care in Kiribati, with sixteen more scheduled to join them.Cubans have also offered training to I-Kiribati doctors (I-Kiribati are the native people of Kiribati).
