ABSTRACT
The military coup of 10 March 1952 brought to power a tyrannical military government in Cuba. Aware of the unconstitutional nature of this government, a group of honest men decided to take up arms and fight the tyrant. To organize armed struggle, a movement was created under the leadership of young lawyer Fidel Castro Ruz. This group of revolutionaries conducted the attack on Moncada Garrison in Santiago de Cuba. The experiences from the heroic action, particularly its medical assurance, motivated the writing of the present article. Medical support to the armed action was entrusted to Doctor Mario Muñoz Monroy, who carried out the task in a highly professional and humanitarian manner, as was stated by the action leader in History will absolve me. The example set by the doctor in the attack on Moncada turns him into a paradigm for the new generations of health care professionals, particularly for Cuban military physicians.REFERENCES
