DIAZ BERNAL, Zoe. Both Skin Color and Gender Matter in Cuba. Rev Cubana Salud Pública [online]. 2020, vol.46, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2020. ISSN 1561-3127.

This brief communication is aimed at providing supporting ideas about the importance of considering skin color and gender as categories that are relevant for the analysis of social determinants of health. In view of that, we offer examples of previous research outcomes that show the contemporary situation in Cuba. At the same time, we approached the problem of hegemonic thinking in health, focusing on thinking as an aspect inherent in social medical care, in order to highlight the socio-anthropologic approach required for treating these topics.

Palabras clave : gender; skin color; social determinants; social medical care; Cuba.
