MARTINEZ APORTELA, Eddy et al. Notes on the life and work of Ph.D. Angel Arturo Aballí Arellano. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.3, pp. 685-691. ISSN 1684-1824.

Angel Arturo Aballí Arellano is considered one of the most important pediatricians of the Cuban medicine history, up to the point that it is almost impossible to write the history of this discipline in our country without deeply studying his life and work, all of it devoted to the defense of the new generations interests, the childhood health status, and to struggle for obtaining the resources required for their attention, welfare and happiness. He studied diarrheic diseases, malnutrition and tuberculosis. With this aim he inaugurated the Anti-tuberculosis Dispensary for Children Calmette, the Grancvher Preventer for Nursing Infants, a ward for tuberculous children at the hospital La Esperanza and later the Infantile Antituberculous Hospital that today is named after him and after the triumph of the revolution became a General Pediatric Hospital.

Keywords : Angel Arturo Aballí Arellano; pediatrician; physician; professor.
