Internationalism, as a social value, is one of the essential characteristics of Cuban public health since the triumph of the Revolution.

The aim of this article is to highlight the role of Cuban cooperation in assisting chronic renal failure patients in Santa Lucia through various well-defined interventions, emphasizing on the impact of such cooperation in the Renal Unit of the Victoria Hospital.
