Resumen

BATLLE ALMODOVAR, María del Carmen  y  DICKINSON MENESES, Félix Orlando. Hygiene in Cuba during the first fourth of the XX century. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2014, vol.36, n.5, pp.681-689. ISSN 1684-1824.

Infectious diseases and, particularly, epidemics, obliged Cuban researchers, especially during the first decades of the XX century, to find solutions for the causes originating them. The aim of this article was compiling, considering and highlighting the task of some prominent Cuban scientists during the first fourth of the XX century, mainly in the surroundings of the Academy of Medical, Physical and Natural Sciences of Havana. Undoubtedly, at the beginning of the XX century, hygiene and health were important themes in the work of Cuban scientists. The contributions of personalities as Carlos J. Finlay, Jorge Le Roy and others, are transcendental as relevant and essential samples for studying this theme. Their contributions are milestones that should be considered in the subsequent development of Cuban Public Health. An important part of these works is recorded in the Annals of the Academy of Medical, Physical and Natural Sciences of Havana, one of the most important documental sources of that period.

Palabras clave : hygiene; health; history; XX century; Cuba.
