These reasons have placed him at key moments in the struggle for the preservation and defense of humanity.

Undoubtedly, Dr. Rafael Corona Pérez is an important personality of revolutionary medicine in Cuba; his life should be disclosed to future generations of health professionals who are trained in Cuban medical universities
