SOCARRAS SANCHEZ, Sonia  and  LOPEZ- CHAVEZ MARTINEZ, Graciela. Martí and the medical knowledge. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2006, vol.6, n.3. ISSN 1727-8120.

This work is a revision of bibliographical sources where we expose some elements about one of those scientific disciplines that Marti paid more attention to: the medical sciences. It was carried out in the Medical Sciences Institute of Camaguey during the 2004-2205 and its contents have been used in reflection and discussion classes in some groups of the first year of the medicine carer. The poor popularisation of this knowledge sphere and the necessity to popularize it, motivated the development of this work, where the main objective is to analyse Marti’s appraisas on the medical knowledge, to impact in the cultural integrity of the professionals of medicine. In this material, a brief characterization of the development of medicine in Cuba in the XIX century is offered, also it characterizes Marti’s valuations about the development of medical knowledges in this stage, that were treated through comments he made in articles of newspapers and magazines, and in his Diary From Cabo Haitiano to Dos Rios. Among the most important results stand out: the information about the use of green medicine, the analysis of diverse illnesses, therapeutic and surgical techniques, and his valuation about the public medical care as a social problem, what is a way to form creative professionals with a wide profile.
