In December 2007, Cuba’s National Health Science Prizes were awarded for outstanding contributions to basic science, clinical medicine, and population health. The prizes, first bestowed in 1976, are sponsored by Cuba’s Ministry of Public Health and the National Council of Scientific Societies. Works are selected based on excellence, scientific rigor, and relevance. In 2007, one Grand Prize, 13 additional prizes, and 11 special mentions were awarded from among 244 entries forwarded from the provincial level.
