Resumen

Being born, living, aging and dying with health is not a dream, but the future vision of man. It is impossible to separate health from the essence of man in the context of material, spiritual and moral aspects, without facing the main enemies of it: poverty, environmental deterioration, inadequate lifestyles and violence.

An exchange of experiences and debate was carried out by professionals from different provinces of Cuba on important topics: intersectoriality and population health, communication in health, quality of care, economic evaluation of preventive activities, promotion and prevention activities and its effects, different procedures and treatments of primary care. In addition, the influence of postmodernism on training and professional performance for oral health was assessed as a high risk, a subject much discussed by colleagues present. The treatment alternatives appear with a new Ayurvedic Medicine that monopolized the professional interest.
