Abstract
The development of the Cuban health services during the last decade reflects a commitment to minimize the striking inequalities in the availability and consumption of health resources that previously existed between social classes, between cities and rural areas, and between regions. This process of equalization has been characterized by a centralization of inpatient services, a decentralization of ambulatory services, and an increase in the use and production of paramedical and auxiliary personnel within the health-services system.Keywords
