The Medicine degree was one of the 4 foundational degrees of the Royal and Pontifical University of San Jeronimo de La Habana, in January 1728. Since its foundation, for 234 years, there was only one School of Medicine in Cuba, located in the capital city. In order to respond to the growing health care needs of the Cuban population and to generate resources to offer medical aid in solidarity with sister countries, in 1962 the development of a process of extension of higher medical education to the whole country began. At present, there are 21 Faculties of Medical Sciences, plus the Latin American School of Medicine, with the University of Medical Sciences of Havana as the leading center in the country.
The ELAM was created in 1999, at the request of Commander Fidel Castro, as a Cuban solidarity response to the natural disasters that occurred in Central America, when it was hit by Hurricane Mitch (1998), with great human and material losses, which aggravated the health condition of the population in the area.
The level of health of the Cuban population is one of the highest in Latin America and the 3rd world, comparable to that offered by 1st world countries.
The Cuban health care system provides qualified comprehensive medical care to the entire population, free of charge, with universal coverage and accessibility, at all levels of care: from community health centers to the network of hospitals and specialized secondary and tertiary services.
