En el presente trabajo hacemos una breve referencia sobre la historia del Hospital de Caridad Santa Isabel , en la Ciudad de Cárdenas, que fue una de las primeras instituciones públicas en brindar atención médica gratuita a los pobladores de la ciudad y extender sus servicios en la primera década del siglo XX a los poblados de Hato Nuevo, Recreo y Cimarrones, actualmente Martí, Máximo Gómez y Carlos Rojas. El estado ruinoso de la instalación y la construcción de un nuevo hospital son factores que hacen posible su desaparición a casi cien años de su fundación. La información del Dr Antonio María Béguez César y la foto del hospital forman parte del programa ramal Santiago de Cuba-Matanzas y fueron suministradas por la Lic María Antonia Peña Sánchez del Centro de Información de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba, institución ejecutora principal del proyecto titulado: estrategia para incrementar la visibilidad del descubrimiento científico del pediatra Dr Antonio Béguez César.

Soon after the Portuguese made landfall in 1500, Europeans and, later, African slaves introduced leprosy, and Saint Lazarus, the patron saint of its victims, into Brazil. Social and political pressure mounted by the middle of the eighteenth century in the city of Rio de Janeiro to remove those unfortunates from the city's streets even before the move of Brazil's capital in 1763. Frei Antôniom the bishop of Rio, founded the venerable hospital that year in the neighborhood of São Cristóvão, He requested that the Irmandade do Santissimo Sacramento da Candelária provide oversight and administration. The brotherhood continues to honor its covenant of 239 years ago. The history of this hospital provides insight into the complex relationships that existed between the citizenry and church and state. Rio's leprosy hospital, now the Hospital Frei Antônio, had an important role in the evolution of the health care professions, progress in medical science, and the genesis of the hygienic movement in Brazil. This study also contributes to the history of a disease that persists in 2002 Brazil as a public health issue.

Inaugurated in May 1940, in Viamão Municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Hospital Colônia Itapuã was meant to shelter Hansen's disease patients. Built in order to work as a small town, the hospital was the stage of several life and work histories. The fragments of these collective and individual experiences have been recovered since 1999, when Centro de Documentação e Pesquisa (Cedope/HCI) was first implemented. It is through the center activities that we propose a comparative study of the history of the hospital and the history of those who lived and those who still live in it.
