ABSTRACT
Introduction: Baraguá represents the revolutionary intransigence of the Cuban people, and in this event they showed many of the human values that today the Cuban doctors follow in their daily work. Objectives: To characterize the historical context of the Protest of Baraguá and to explain its influence on the work of Cuban doctors today, using the logical-historical and analytical-synthetic method. Methods: Historical-logical and analytical-synthetic methods were used to analyze documents and bibliography on the subject. Results: An approach to the validity that the thought and action of Antonio Maceo have had, have and will have, along with those of the patriots who accompanied him, on the 138th anniversary of the Protest of Baraguá. The contribution of his revolutionary thought, as an inexhaustible source of lessons, revives the principle that the future of the Cuban fatherland will be an eternal Baraguá that includes the fate of our daily medical practice. Conclusions: Cuban doctors honor the example of Antonio Maceo, fulfill their daily work and the different tasks oriented in the field of internationalism. The discipline, training and perseverance of Cuban health workers, together with their principles of solidarity, humanism, courage and commitment, are the legacy of the patriots who, as in Baraguá, faced injustice against the Cuban homeland.
