The multidimensional change in the Cuban revolutionary process allowed the scientific development of the island. The objective of this article is to explain the relationship between the Cuban scientific policy and its consequent strengths to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Several investigations on Cuban scientific policy, Biotechnology, updated studies on the world's confrontation with COVID-19, and Cuba's response were reviewed. Bibliographic searches were carried out on Internet sites and printed books. Cuba, a developing country, has been historically affected by an unequal and exclusive international economic, commercial and political system. Even so, it has a coherent and systematic scientific policy, which exhibits results that are not perfect, but respectable and honest. Thanks to its Health System and the development of science, it can be said that the Cuban response to this pandemic has been, fundamentally, successful.

Palabras clave : health policy; Covid-19.
