Popis: Medicine is the science dedicated to the study of life, health, diseases and death of human beings, and involves exercising scientific-technical knowledge for the maintenance and recovery of health. It is an art where the knowledge of the doctor is used to obtain a practical result that is to prevent a human being from getting sick, and if he does, to achieve the restoration of his health. The art of being a doctor implies the science with which one has to proceed and through which one can find solutions to health problems through scientific methods. For its part, art, through its various manifestations such as painting, photography, sculpture, literature, among others, has facilitated medicine knowledge about facts, characters, actions or investigations carried out by illustrious personalities of medicine and science, since the emergence of medicine in Cuba during the colonial era. These precedents constitute works of invaluable historical and scientific value, which have contributed important antecedents in the execution of the current health programs.
