An observational descriptive study was carried out to identify inefficiencies in the management of epidemics, in the autonomous North and South Atlantic regions and the departments of Matagalpa and Río San Juan, where Cuban medical brigade members cooperate with the assistance and teaching of future specialists of Integrated General Medicine who discharge their social service as physicians. Both cooperationists and nationals were surveyed to assess their knowledge about the management of epidemics in primary health care, including the technical, methodological, organizational, and operational aspects. Results showed little knowledge. A practical guide was designed to improve personnel training in facing up health-endangering events.
