AIM: To assess the considerations for the implementation of a national system for taking and sending biological samples. DEVELOPMENT: We made a general assessment on the conditions existing in the country in relation to the transportation of biological samples, common practice among laboratories with different purposes, on the antecedents connected with the topic in the world and in Cuba, as well as on the present state of the sending of samples, and its characteristics in the national health system. CONCLUSIONS: The authors highlight the advantage of having an organized and functional national health system within the structure of the socialist State to achieve in a near future the implementation of a national system for taking and sending biological samples.
