A brief historical review of Tropical Medicine in Cuba and of the life and work of Pedro Kouri up to the foundation of the institution that bears his name today was made. The achievements attained by this Institute were also included in this paper. With this study we payed a modest homage to the illustrous Dr. Pedro Kouri on the centenary of his birthday and the students and health workers had the opportunity to know part of this Cuban history.
