As @beewee said, you should accept this answer if it helped. I know it helped me, I wasn't aware that this was even in the rules. Nice answer.

<p>Say Medic got to Paris with 3 blue cubes but didn't have enough action to remove cubes, and a next player cures blue. Do we get to remove those blue cubes from Paris right away or do we wait till Medic's next turn?</p>

@SQB I don't think they are duplicates. This is about when a medic's ability kicks in after another player researches a cure, whereas the other question is about how the medic's ability works during the medic's turn.  I've modified the question titles of both to better clarify what they were asking.

Does the Medic need to wait until their next turn to remove cubes when another player researches a cure?

The blue cubes in Paris are removed immediately:

From [the Rules](https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/27536/pandemic-rules-permission-z-man-games) (Classic Pandemic p.5), emphasis mine:
