I did find this article on the internet about how Cuba keeps it infant mortality low for propaganda reasons.

"When an ultrasound done during the pregnancy reveals that something could be wrong with the fetus, the woman is forced to have an abortion.

The doctor also made reference to the lack of treatment that is given to babies who are born prematurely. He told of one time when he was on duty and a woman gave birth after only 26 weeks of pregnancy. The doctor sent the baby to a neonatology ward at the hospital, but he died a few hours later. The next day, he was called to a meeting with the hospital director, where he was told that he should have known by now that babies who are born so premature should not be sent to receive further care because, if they died, it would impact the mortality rate.

He said many premature babies are left to die without receiving any medical care and are later reported as stillborn, which doesn't impact the mortality rate.

He said he knew of cases of premature babies who were born alive and were put in a bag and placed in a closet to be sent later to the morgue as if they were born dead.
Since the Cuban government keeps a very close track of the performance of each doctor at Cuba's maternity hospitals, any doctor who has to report a death of a baby that would impact the infant mortality rate could get in trouble."

I honestly don't know if this is true but it is so horrible if it is just half true there is still a problem..
