Resumen
GONZALEZ PEREZ, Camilo. El Médico de Familia cubano y su contribución en la lucha contra el SIDA en África. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2002, vol.18, n.3, pp. 230-232. ISSN 1561-3038.
The aim of this paper is to show experience of a group of Cuban internationalist physicians who give our medical cooperation in one of the poorest countries in the world, Niger. We explain how the Cuban family physician contributes to the fight against AIDS in Africa, how he/she identifies the problem, how he/she defines the causative factors of AIDS and we outline the fundamental activities of the fight against AIDS. The main achievement stated in the paper is that public health authorities as well as the government in Niger are now more aware of the AIDS problem thanks to the work carried out by the Cuban physicians, among others.
