This article deals with the origin and development of the military health of the Rebel Army during the guerrilla struggle in the territory of the former province Las Villas; aspect little studied so far. Its objective is to assess the military, political and social repercussion of the Military Health of the Rebel Army in the former province of Las Villas during the last war of national liberation. The organization of the Military Health of the Rebel Army during the Las Villas Campaign was systematized, scattered and inconclusive information in the historiography. The organizational capacity of this army and the validity of the strategy of Camilo Cienfuegos and Ernesto Guevara were demonstrated. This strategy more than fulfilled its political-social objectives and with its health principles, it laid the foundations for the future development of the health system in rural areas of the central territory of Cuba.
