ABSTRACT

Introduction: Family Medicine is the medical specialty considered effector of Primary Health Care, whose development has been influenced by the pressure to address compelling social needs. This field, also called family practice is generally exercised by physicians whose primary function is to serve the community, the family and the individual in a particular area of health.
Objective: To review information about the evolution and development of Family Medicine and Primary Health Care in Cuba and other countries.
Methods: A literature search through different information sources, databases and search engines, including Google, Medline, PubMed and SciELO was performed.
Results: family medicine emerges late in the first half of the XX century to meet the imperative social need for health care services to ensure scientific and technical quality health care at a sustainable cost, it has had its development in primary care models which have used different training programs, such as Mexico, Brazil, Canada, USA, Spain and Cuba.
Conclusions: Family medicine has had a spiral development internationally, making models-some more success than others. The Cuban model, with a financially limited investment, becomes a cost-effective strategy over history.
