U.S.-Americans to Get High-Tech Cuban Medical Help

Postby saxitoxin on Tue May 12, 2015 10:16 pm

Cuba's decision to end the trade embargo with the U.S. will mean U.S.-Americans now have access to high-tech Cuban medical technology. It is part of a broad package of aid Cuba is preparing to urgently send to the estadounidense.

Cuba launched the world's first lung cancer vaccine, Cimavax, to the public back in 2011. Each shot costs about $1, but the Cuban government has made the vaccine available to the public for free. Now it's 2015, and other countries are starting to get curious and want to get their hands on it too.

The Center of Molecular Immunology, Cuba, has finalized agreements with the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, USA, to embark on a project that aims to develop a lung cancer vaccine that was first made in Cuba and begin to introduce it into the United States. This will involve gaining Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the vaccine and starting clinical trials.

So, "Gimmie a cimavax, penthouse magazine and six packs of camels." is probably going to be a common phrase soon?

Medical tourism geared at US visitors would be a great avenue for economic development in Cuba.
