Abstract
Since the decade of the 1970s health promotion has been an integral part of most primary health care strategies.This article examines some community participation strategies adopted in the health promotion in Cuba and the policies which enable such strategies. This is done in the context of health promotion theory and also examines the concept of direct involvement by the political directorate in health promotion.The article is written from a reflexive perspective following the author's visit to Cuba as member of a health study tour in March 2002.
