Resumen
LOPEZ ESPINOSA, José Antonio. Jose Lopez Sanchez's contributions to the health sciences in his bibliography. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2012, vol.38, n.3, pp. 355-371. ISSN 0864-3466.
A brief account was made on the most important aspects of the fecund life and remarkable work of Dr Jose Lopez Sanchez (1911-2004) as physician, health manager, diplomat, revolutionary militant, professor, researcher and historian. The extensive scientific literature production that he was able to generate, making emphasis in his most important contributions to health sciences in general and to the public health in particular, was presented. Those works that covered more than six decades and were mainly disseminated as monographies, books, and articles in Cuban and foreign journals, in which he revealed unexplored or barely known issues for the national and international communities, were underlined. In the field of public health, he proved the conditions in which the scientific research paved its way in Cuba, the difficulties faced by the forerunners and the problems that their followers had to solve from the Spanish colonization times up to the present stage. This bibliographic legacy aimed at generating new pieces of knowledge or reliving the existing ones, is worthy of the consideration and respect of the present and future generations of public health professionals and of health professionals as well. This article intends to be a modest acknowledgement for this architect of the Cuban science and culture in the 20 th century to celebrate his 100 th anniversary.
