| Raúl receives President of Timor-Leste PRESIDENT Raúl Castro Ruz received on September 27 President Taur Matan Ruak of the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste, during the latter's official visit to Cuba.
During his stay, the Timor Leste President and his delegation met with scientists at the Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Center (CIGB), where they were presented with medicines developed by this institution, such as the recognized Heberprot-P for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, and the vaccine against Hepatitis B, included on the 171 registers of 14 products in 57 countries, as the CIGB researchers confirmed. Timorese Health Minister Sergio Gama Lobo showed interest in these two Cuban products and inquired into their application. The scientists also referred to the possibility of establishing cooperation between the institution and the Timor Leste government for the treatment of foot ulcers, as a way of raising the quality of life of persons suffering from diabetes. At the end of his visit to the Center, President Taur Matan Ruak affirmed that there are two ways of treating people in the world: one is preventative and the other curative, and the better one is that of Cuba; preventative health care. He subsequently stated that education and innovation are key to increased collaboration between the two nations, which he reiterated before leaving the country, saying that he is seeking to consolidate relations between Timor Leste and Cuba, above all in the health and education sectors. | |
