Cuba offers big savings on medical services for tourists

Cuban Medical Services Sales Company, part of the health ministry, on Tuesday presented in Havana a new therapeutic and preventive program destined for international tourism to be implemented in the country’s medical and health assistance centres.

Dr Jorge Alberto Miranda, president of the company, told the press that the new service, which includes basic medical checkups with a very simple program, will begin September 15 until October 31 on a promotional level and a special price.

Miranda, who is also a deputy of the National Assembly, said that Cuba has the resources to expand its services to foreigners for a shorter period and they will receive the benefits of the strengths of the Cuban health system offered to its population free of charge.

The basic health exam would be carried out in a few hours in the hotel installation itself, which will have an office for the specialist, the medical checkup, clinical laboratory and EKG, among others.

Other services will be included such as a complete hematology, EKG, ultrasound of the abdomen and gynecology for women and prostate for men.

Cuban Medical Services has seven treatments it can offer, allowing every opportunity for a solution to a medical, scientific or academic problem for visitors.

This organization has 16 branches in the country, except Artemisa and Mayabeque provinces and the Special Municipality of the Isle of Youth.

It has contracts with 22 countries offering medical services abroad, with 57 contracts in over 150 travel agencies on the island and strategic business alliances with the ministries of tourism, higher education, BioCubaFarma, Sports Institute and public health offering high quality service.

Miranda also announced the therapeutic-preventive program for ulcers and complex wounds, among them the use of the Heberprot-P medication in combination with other drugs in Cuban biotechnology.

Among them are nutritional medications like Abexol and Prevenox used as anti-oxidants, ozone and other research products in Cuban science.

He also mentioned the contributions of Dr Jose Ignacio Fernandez Montequin, a vascular and vascular surgery specialist with 49 years of experience and a pioneer of the Heberprot-P medication for people with diabetic foot ulcers.
