Studying humanism externalizes any guideline of thought, which enphasize the dignity of the human being. On this basis, humanism can be unraveled in the most diverse ways. The great dimensions of humanist thought of Fidel Castro Ruz, start from the conviction of social justice as a means of vindication, on the basis of equality. The present study demonstrates, through speeches and reflections of Fidel Castro Ruz, about science and medicine, his humanistic vision. Methods of the theoretical level were used, particularly the logical historical one; and from the empirical level, the review of documentary sources. 22 documents have been referenced, which refer to the historical legacy of the work of Fidel Castro. Through his works we can see his projection, his struggle against adversity, to achieve the necessary changes in Cuban society, contributing to the improvement of the peoples and, in special, his concern for the health of all, ethics, solidarity, fidelity, honesty with history and above all, its perennial perception for the welfare of humanity.

Keywords : personality; humanism; social value; Fidel Castro.
