Abstract

Several personalities took part in the battles for Cuban independence, being the most recognized men of the stature of Céspedes, Maceo and Gomez. A large number of them have been left into anonymity over the years, even when they gave everything without asking anything in return. The present work is aimed at describing the figure of the prominent Doctor of Medicine Enrique Núñez de Villavicencio y Palomino, who is a paradigm for Cuban health professionals, and has allowed the History of Cuban Medicine to have the benefit of a well-deserved prestige, not only for the valuable contribution as a scientist, but also for his human values and for being a faithful son and defender of his motherland. A total of 21 bibliographical references were cited.
