Authors

Abstract

Regionalization in health services is a technical and administrative decentralization mechanism that involves the settlement of different levels of care. Gathering and interaction of these levels constitute the regional system of medical care that should be part of a national health system. In this paper, a chronological analysis of the implementation and development of this regionalization for the care of patients with cardiovascular disease is discussed. The experience of the Cardiocentro Ernesto Che Guevara, main center of this activity in the central region of Cuba, is described.
