Description
Angel Escobedo and three co-authors wrote a 2026 article on Cuba's new family code and child health. The code passed by referendum on September 25, 2022, with about 67 percent of valid votes in favor. Its 474 articles replaced a 1975 code that had stood for nearly fifty years. The new law aims to reflect a more diverse society, with equality and non-discrimination as stated values.
Cuba's health gains frame the argument: infant deaths of 7.1 per 1,000 births and life expectancy near 78 years in 2024, despite a weak economy and the United States embargo. Gaps remain for rural and marginalized children. The authors present the code as one more step that can support child and family health.
