Cuban Drug Administered in Ecuador's Healthcare System |
|
|
Monday, October 27, 2014
Havana.- Ecuador's healthcare system is treating patients with the Cuban drug Heberprot-P, which is used to treat diabetic foot ulcers.
As a result of an agreement between Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos Cubanos (CSMC) and the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (IESS), more than 150 patients have been treated with Heberprot-P since August 2014, when Ecuador started importing the injectable drug.
The first stage of the program consists of supplying 12,000 doses of the drug to treat at least 1,000 patients.
Heberprot-P is being administered in 20 countries, mainly in Latin America, and its use in Cuba has reduced by more than 78 percent the risk of amputation due to diabetic foot ulcers.
