GONZALEZ*, Ernesto José López et al. Biomedical and technological developments: indispensable pairing for health units in COVID-19 times. Medisur [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp. 327-340.  Epub Apr 30, 2022. ISSN 1727-897X.

The concern that society has in all countries about health continues to be greater than about any other aspect. An optimal quality of life is only possible with favorable health. Given the recent COVID-19 events, the importance of medical technology in patient care has become apparent. The aim of this work is to show the relevant role played by the biomedical branch, its influence and impact on the processes of health units. It summarizes some of the technological developments achieved from the international to the local context in the complex epidemiological scene in which the planet finds itself. It describes the necessary chronology of the electromedical system in Cuba with an emphasis on Cienfuegos. It defends the idea that a conceptual change is necessary about the important role played by the biomedical branch, its influence and impact on the processes of the units and that biomedical and electromedical engineers, as well as electromedical graduates and technicians, deserve an adequate recognition before the scientific community for their tangible achievements in Covid-19 times. They also save lives.

Keywords : biotechnology; medicine; COVID-19.
