Havana.-The Cuban Council of State awarded 28 Cuban

scientists the Carlos J. Finlay Order for their outstanding

contribution to the development and prestige of science in the

country.

During the ceremony, held at the Jos? Mart? Memorial to mark

training of participants and psycho-pedagogical, social and

clinical-genetic studies of disabled persons.

and inter-institutional character, scientific rigor and human

values, as well as for his significance for the improvement of

life quality of those persons in the country.

Political Bureau member Jos? Machado Ventura, Public Health

Minister Damodar Pe?a and First Deputy Minister of Science,

I'd be willing to bet that you have to get this one before you get the order?

Distinci?n "Manuel Fajardo" (25 yrs - medicine)

Or perhaps concurrently?

The Finlay Order replaces its incarnation of 1928, just as the C?spedes Order was originally instituted in 1926 and carried over by the Communist regime.

Wouldn't it be ironic if way back when, somebody managed to get BOTH versions of the same Orders!

Now that would be interesting

Not a great deal of info to add right now apart from that it was constituted in 1928 by the the Cuban government and is conferred by the Council of State for Medical and Scientific merit.
