The scientific production of a center constitutes a measure of the scientific work of its researchers. A retrospective, descriptive, bibliometric study was carried out in order to analyze the scientific production of the health professionals of the Jimmy Hirzel polyclinic, during the period 1997-2020. Infomed, the Cuban health network, and Google Scholar were searched. Bibliometric indicators were analyzed: articles published by years, journal, type of document, type of study, area of medical sciences investigated, order of signature, number of signatures, author productivity, average of bibliographic references, and news. The collected data were analyzed in the SPSS 22.0 program for Windows, using descriptive statistics, absolute numbers, percentages and the arithmetic mean. As a result, in the 24 years analyzed, a total of 148 documents were published in 18 magazines, 77% of them in the Multimed magazine of the Granma province. There was a predominance of authorship over co-authorship (78/70). The original articles (79.7%), descriptive studies (65.5%) and documents with five signatures (40.5%) were more numerous. The mean number of bibliographic references per work was 19.6, with a Price index of 0.49.
