Okay.
Cuban doctors are regarded as some of the best doctors in the world by a lot of countries. So much so that they’ve become an export of Cuba. 30,000 Cuban doctors are currently active in 67 countries, many in Latin America and Africa.

Infant mortality was 32 per 1000 live births in Cuba in 1957. In 2000–2005 it was 6.1 per 1000 in Cuba; and, for comparison, 6.8 per 1000 in the United States.
Life expectancy has gone up almost 20 years and their Under-5 mortality has decreased from dropped from a rate of 112.4 to 7.7.

Education wise:

The total population has a 99.8 percent literacy rate. (backed up by its enemies in the CIA) Its 1961 Literacy Campaign, within barely one year, one million illiterate people were assisted by mobilising 250,000 literacy teachers and thousands of devoted school children. By the end of 1961, 75% of those one million had achieved rudimentary literacy.
While the literacy drive was underway, school enrollments more than doubled a decade later. Another major reason is because education at all levels, including university and college, became free. By the mid 90s, 94% of Cuban primary students reached 5th grade, compared to 74% in the Latin America.

Their infant mortality rate is inaccurate because they misreport data.

It’s hard to take any statistics released by Cuba at face value, really. Anything coming out of the country is through the lens of a dictator and there is zero oversight.
