The event also addresses methodological, theoretical and practical aspects of Family Medicine in Cuba, which allows a multi, inter and transdisciplinary work aimed at family doctors and nurses and professionals linked to the PHC.
Likewise, the online event allows students of Medical Sciences to offer personal experiences, while constituting a timely occasion to honor the Henry Reeve Contingent, based on its international prestige and deeply humanistic and supportive essence.
