Background:

The development issue has evolved from a quantitative perspective to a qualitative one with a comprehensive approach. In Cuba these approaches have been present in economic and political thought. The ideology and work of Faustino Pérez Hernández is insufficiently known, who in the fulfillment of political and administrative functions addressed aspects of development with an integrative projection.

Objective:

To establish that in the thought and work of Doctor Faustino Pérez Hernández there is a social focus on development in Cuba.

Conclusions:

In the thought and work of Doctor Faustino Pérez Hernández there is a social approach to development in Cuba with a comprehensive projection, which includes the solution of problems related to the health of the people, verifiable in his diverse actions in compliance with important missions, following a path of ascending maturation on two planes or levels: national and local.
