Family Medicine in Cuba, a dream come true
Journal Title: Revista Científica Estudiantil de Ciencias Médicas de Matanzas - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
At the end of 1983, Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz conceived the idea of providing the Cuban health system with a new type of doctor, capable of providing assistance to pregnant women, taking care of their risks, their evolution and the outcome of childbirth; then follow the child's development and behavior at home and school and, as an adult, ensure her healthy functioning in her family and social life, as well as ensuring that she received proper care during old age. This initiative began with the selection of ten young doctors with outstanding academic student careers, who began on January 4, 1984, in a health area in the Lawton neighborhood of Havana, the Family Doctor and Nurse Program in Cuba, then known as the 120 Families Doctor's Plan
