This project aims to understand the history of medicine as an instrument of soft power during and after the Cold War. Taking Cuba as a case study, it expects to generate new knowledge about the socialist East's fight to win ‘hearts and minds’ in the global South by analysing the professional and interpersonal relationships that developed among Cuban, Soviet, and Czechoslovak medical students, clinical practitioners, researchers and public health officials. Expected outcomes include refined methods of transnational history and medical history. This should provide significant benefits, such as enhancing Australia's visibility as a site of historical discovery and innovation, and offering historical context for contemporary diplomacy.

该项目旨在了解冷战期间和冷战后医学作为软实力工具的历史。以古巴为案例研究，它希望通过分析古巴，苏联和捷克斯洛伐克医学生，临床医生，研究人员和公共卫生官员之间发展的专业和人际关系，产生关于社会主义东方争取在全球南方赢得“人心”的新知识。预期的结果包括完善的跨国历史和病史的方法。这将带来巨大的好处，例如提高澳大利亚作为历史发现和创新场所的知名度，并为当代外交提供历史背景。
