ABSTRACT

In 1959 arose in Cuba what is known today as the Activity of Diabetes and Pregnancy. The objective of this report is to describe its origin and development. This work had its beginning in "General Calixto García" Hospital by who can be regarded as a pioneer in this field, Dr. Antonio Márquez Guillén. In 1970, it was founded in "Ramón González Coro" Hospital the first hospital room designed to attend specifically pregnant women with diabetes. This room has been operated under the aegis of Dr. Lemay Valdés Amador. The preconceptional care to women with diabetes was established in 1992 at the National Institute of Endocrinology and one of its most genuine supporters was Dr. Jacinto Lang Prieto. From 2001, the activity of diabetes and pregnancy began a process of consolidation, which took as its starting point the foundation of a national program and ended with the execution in 2007 of the First Cuban Consensus of Diabetes and Pregnancy. The collaborative project with the World Diabetes Foundation initiated in 2007 contributed to the extension of this activity throughout the country and to demonstrate the achievements of Cuba in the care of pregnant women with diabetes, which prompted that the International Diabetes Federation appointed the service of Diabetes and Pregnancy of "Ramón González Coro" Hospital as a Center of Excellence in the attention to pregnant women with Diabetes and Pregnancy. Recently in 2017, the Second Cuban Consensus of Diabetes and Pregnancy was carried out, and the work to maintain the achievements continues.
