I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'controlled medical environments' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'marshalling cuban riots' is the wordplay.
'marshalling' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'marshals' mean this (marshal can mean to gather)).
'cuban'+'riots'='cubanriots'
'cubanriots' is an anagram of 'INCUBATORS'.

'in' acts as a link.
