Usage, appropriation and access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are priorities in countries involved in development processes. This research shows the effort made in Cuba (Guáimaro, Camagüey Province), to help professionals in their scientific and educational training to make them more efficient, specifically in the health area. For this purpose, we developed a needs diagnosis and a proposal on digital information basic contents involved in the process of solving practical problems in information management activities in the health sector. The diagnosis identified initial knowledge needs (text and data processing and presentations creation), and some issues related to web pages, Moodle platform, bibliographic management, e-mail and browsing along with search and meta-search engines for knowledge generation and spread. As a complement to the diagnosis development, the research was supplemented with the results assessment via qualitative research techniques involving experts from Health and ICT areas
