Orientation to our
site
- The Tomás Romay
Initative is essentially the work we do either as part
of our professional groups or in our practices. Dr. Tomás
Romay was a pioneer of Cuban organized medicine bridging the
XVIII and XIX centuries.
- The Finlay Institute
is the result of our clinical investigations and efforts to
provide public health back up to our people inside and
outside the island. Cuban public health in the island of
Cuba, MINSAP, is currently in great manner under the control
of the political leaders of the Revolution. Therefore, the
Cubans who fall off the Revolution are ill served or not
served at all by the MINSAP. While most Cubans exiled from
the Revolution are residing in the United States, the U.S.
Public Health Service does not recognize the Cubans in the
U.S. in any special form. Therefore, it is not unexpected
that the health aspects of the Cuban-American community are
in need of special attention from groups such as ours. The
Finlay Institute is monitoring aspects of the health
of Cubans and Cuban-Americans and providing a forum for
clinical investigations that enhance and confirm our
understanding of health and disease.
- The Nicolás Gutiérrez
Academy is the community activists area, bioethics
department, and historical section of our Society. It is
named after Dr. Nicolás J. Gutiérrez who founded the Real
Academia de Ciencias Físicas, Médicas y Naturales de La
Habana in 1861 and began publishing the Annals of the
Academy of Sciences in Cuba in 1864.
-
The Albarran School of Medicine and Surgery is
essentially a virtual medical school. It is used by our
members and our student members. The school provides a forum
for participants all over the world to bring forth their
questions and points of view. Dr Joaquín Albarran was born
in Sagua La Grande, Cuba and studied medicine in Barcelona,
Spain and later in Paris. He did all his professional work
outside of the island of Cuba. Therefore, Albarrán presents
a historical medical figure that is a counter part to that
of Dr. Carlos J. Finlay. The latter studied medicine abroad
in the United States but did essentially all his clinical
work, elegant epidemiology, careful clinical
experimentation, pioneering microbiology of viruses, and
effective public health interventions in the island of Cuba.
