STEEGERS MARTIN, Nelson. Estado actual de la homeopatía en Cuba. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 1997, vol.13, n.3, pp.282-288. ISSN 0864-2125.

The knowledge of homeopathy in our country is exiguous, in spite of the recognized development of Cuban medicine in all its spheres and of the existance of this therapeutic modality in a lot of countries, even in the most industrialized. It is not until 1992 that the Ministry of Public Health decided to incorporate homeopathy to the socalled "alternative therapeutics". Since then, there has been an accelerated development of this entity that is unknown by most of our health professionals. It is made a synthesis on the present status of homeopathy in Cuba starting from the arduous work carried out by the "Dr. Juan Antiga" Cuban Group of Homeopathy as a leading group of this discipline, taking into account its history, composition, structure, functioning, and its results in the assistance, scientific and teaching activities.
