Development of the Gastroenterology in Matanzas

Abstract

The origin and history of the events are occasionally forgotten due to the vertiginous development of the society that develops progressively without discerning that development is the product of the correct materials and human resources planning made by those who devoted their lives, with hope and eagerness, to a profession requiring so much humanism and sensibility as Medicine. This work was aimed to shortly expose the development of Gastroenterology in Matanzas, and that way to render homage to those specialists, that even if they are not already alive, or at the present are not part of the working collectives that today continue their work, deserve to be remembered because of their important contribution to the development of this specialty in the province.
