REPUBLICA DE CUBA issued on 1 December 1951 a series of "postage tax stamps" to mark the Ninth Annual Tuberculosis. These stamps (also known as "obligatory tax" or "postal tax" stamps), were required on mail during the Christmas season to raise funds for the National Tuberculosis Council (Consejo Nacional de Tuberculosis). The money supported children's hospitals and TB control programmes. The stamps state "Mantengamos al Niño Libre de Tuberculosis" (Let's keep the children free from tuberculosis).
