RESUMEN
Desde 1959, el Sistema Nacional de Salud ha transitado por diferentes momentos en su evolución, buscando el perfeccionamiento de un servicio que ha estado determinado en cada etapa, por el desarrollo socioeconómico y científico-técnico de la nación y por un cuadro de salud de la población, cambiante en la medida que el sistema se ha perfeccionado. Hasta 1959 la mujer cubana representaba el 55 por ciento de los analfabetos del país, pobre incorporación al trabajo, una esperanza de vida de 63,8 años y sus hijos morían, más de 60 de cada mil sin llegar al primer año de vida. En el nuevo contexto, determinado por el triunfo revolucionario del 1ero. de enero de 1959, la situación de la mujer cambió de forma particularmente favorable. Fue receptora de las políticas sociales aplicadas a toda la población, y de las diseñadas especialmente para ella, como beneficiaria especial. Durante cinco décadas de revolución, la Salud Pública Cubana ha alcanzado logros inestimables que han incidido favorablemente en el estado de salud y bienestar de la población, de manera especial ha estado presente en este proceso, la mujer, quien además de ser favorecida desde un inicio por el Sistema Nacional de Salud, lo ha acompañado durante todo este tiempo, aportando su conocimiento, esfuerzo y dedicación para el logro de tales éxitos(AU)
ABSTRACT
Since 1959, the National Health Care System passed through different periods in the search for the service improvement that was determined in each stage by the socioeconomic and the scientific-technical development, and by the health picture of the population that has changed as the system has improved. Until 1959, the Cuban women represented 55 percent of the illiterate people, their employment rate was low, their life expectancy was 63,8 years and the mortality rate of their children was 60 per 1000 live births before the first year of life. After the triumph of the Revolution on January 1st, 1959, the new setting witnessed the particularly favourable change of the situation of Cuban women. They received the benefits of the social policies for the whole population and of those specially made for them. During five decades, the Cuban health care has achieved invaluable achievements that have had a positive impact on the health condition and wellbeing of the population. In addition to being benefited by the national health care system since the very beginning, the Cuban woman has been particularly involved in this process by contributing her knowledge and devoting her efforts to attain these accomplishments(AU)
