Abstract

In this paper is outlined the work of research and development of the Pasteur Institute of Caracas and its subsequent impact on national scientific activity, which translated, after its disappearance, in the creation of other institutions in which were carried out important studies in the field of health sciences. It is concluded that today, given the evident decline in the country of the activity of knowledge production and innovation, is particularly relevant to reflect on the efforts that were made in the past to promote a scientific endeavor to respond to the needs of the country, such as happened with the Pasteur Institute of Caracas, which is a good example of social transformations and changes in attitudes that can be achieved, with a profound long-term impact, if working in an organized way and proactively to improve the own living conditions.
