A group of practising physicians, family practice academicians and medical students visited Cuba in 1991. The purpose of this visit was to assess the current status of the discipline of family medicine in the country. Numerous interviews were conducted with practising family physicians, Cuban medical physicians in other medical specialties, the medical school faculty, patients and officials from the Ministry of Public Health. A summary of the content of these interviews constitutes the following paper. The authors conclude that the Cubans have developed a medical care system that has its basis in family practice, and provides a model which could be emulated not only in less developed, but also in more developed countries.
