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. |
