Gastroenterology, hepatology and liver transplant exchanges between the USA and Cuba have mainly consisted of scientific events and short visits. This has facilitated Cuba's inclusion in recognized scientific organizations, familiarity with Cuba's biotech products for treatment of liver disease, and access by Cuban professionals to the highest level of scientific information for clinical practice. It has also given health professionals in the US a more accurate picture of Cuba's health sector. The results of the Global Alcoholic Liver Disease Survey, which included Cuba and was designed and coordinated in the USA, opened doors to joint research and scientific publications. Until now, there have been no protocols for ongoing cooperation to enable bilateral clinical trials or continuing professional development in diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical techniques for hepatology and liver transplantation. There are many mutually beneficial research prospects in these areas. What has been accomplished to date, described in this article, is encouraging and sets the stage for future collaboration. KEYWORDS Hepatology, liver transplant, health, medicine, science, Cuba, USA.
美国和古巴之间的胃肠病学、肝脏病学和肝脏移植交流主要包括科学活动和短期访问。这促进了古巴被纳入公认的科学组织，使古巴人熟悉了用于治疗肝脏疾病的生物技术产品，并使古巴专业人员能够获得最高水平的临床实践科学信息。这也使美国的卫生专业人员对古巴的卫生部门有了更准确的了解。包括古巴在内、并由美国设计和协调的全球酒精性肝病调查的结果为联合研究和科学出版物开辟了道路。到目前为止，还没有关于持续合作的协议，以开展双边临床试验或继续开展肝脏病学和肝脏移植的诊断、治疗和手术技术的专业发展。在这些领域有许多互利的研究前景。本文所描述的迄今为止所取得的成就令人鼓舞，为未来的合作奠定了基础。关键词：肝脏病学、肝脏移植、健康、医学、科学、古巴、美国。
