It honours Dr. Carlos Juan Finlay (1833–1915), the Cuban physician and scientist renowned for discovering the role of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the transmission of yellow fever. The order is conferred upon Cuban and foreign scientists, physicians, and institutions for outstanding contributions to medicine, public health, and biological research. It remains one of Cuba’s most prestigious scientific decorations.
