The aim of this work is to develop a proposal for the stratification of territories based on health indicators. A system to integrate data of various nature for analysis and construction of strata was obtained as a result; the solution is based on data clustering techniques and contributes to the identification of health risks in Cuban territory and decision-making in health institutions.
