Cuba´s contribution to the liberation struggles and to the armed revolutionary movements, particularly in Africa, is well known. However, the involvement of the health professionals in these struggles is barely known. The objective of this paper was to show some less known experiences of this kind of cooperation. Credited publications and testimonies collected by the author in interviews were reviewed. Accounts of specific episodes which recognized the high value of the Cuban health professionals´cooperation with the progressive movements in their liberation struggles were given. The unrestricted solidarity policy of the Cuban Revolution with the best causes of peoples was shown with full certainty.
