Abstract

We made a review on the origins and development of the Cuban National Health System, starting with Fidel Castro's ideas expressed in the Moncada program on the health problem in Cuba then, the fulfillment of that program, clearing the way for new measures and transformations in the subsequent decades up to the current situation, imposing new challenges and transformations to keep up the reached outcomes, the principles of freeness, equality and solidarity of the Cuban public health covered by Cuban constitutional law, and considered an outcome of the Cuban revolution, and also the organization and programs ruling the current National Health System in Cuba.
