The Cuban health system is not a set of scattered institutions, but a coherent community-based network, and its axis, Primary Health Care, transverses all levels of medical care and focuses on individuals and families through integrated networks that reach the entire territory, said José Angel Portal Miranda, Cuba’s Minister of Public Health, in his inaugural lecture at the 5th Cuba Health 2025 International Convention.
At the opening, which was attended by the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, the minister referred to the Island’s medical collaboration in the world, and meant that our cooperants have reached the remotest corners, bringing not only medicine, but also comfort, hope and dignity.
“International medical cooperation is perhaps the most concrete expression of Cuba’s commitment to global health,” he said.
Also on the opening day, the National Health System exhibition was inaugurated, a space to present the main indicators and achievements of the sector in recent years.
Ileana Morales Suárez, director of Science and Technological Innovation of Minsap, pointed out that this 5th Cuba Health 2025 Convention has more than 5,000 participants from 88 countries.
In addition, the scientific program includes more than 1,670 activities that will allow for the discussion of topics focused on models of integral health strategies, artificial intelligence in health, transformations in Primary Health Care, universal access and equity of medical services and products, among other topics.
The opening ceremony was attended by members of the Political Bureau of the Party’s Central Committee, Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the National Assembly of People’s Power and the Council of State;
Manuel Marrero Cruz, prime minister, and Teresa Amarelle Boué, secretary general of the Federation of Cuban Women, as well as other government and Party leaders.
