The effectiveness of the Varadero International Clinic’s quality of life programs is endorsed by an increase in the number of foreign clients who demand these services and also in income, explained doctors Magalys Chaviano Moreno and Boris Luis Gonzalez in the presentation of their work.
Dr. Fernando Achiong presented the successful management of Covid-19 in the Paradisus Varadero hotel and the urgency of maintaining surveillance measures in the hotel facilities, at a time of many respiratory diseases that could mask Covid, said the doctor.

«It is clear that the future of the country lies in research. Despite the fact that many other specialists were able to join, this year’s Forum was a success. We are grateful for the efforts of the participants,» acknowledged Dr. Alexis Medel, director of SMC in this western province of Matanzas.
Dr. Yamila Pascua, in charge of the Forum at the Varadero International Clinic, said that the works correspond to the bank of problems in the Cuban Medical Services, which in this way promotes research that provides answers to everything that helps to optimize the services provided in the health care network for international clients.
The relevant and outstanding awards, Dr. Pascua pointed out, are the result of the strategy of interventions and also of the Association of Innovators and Rationalizers. «We have a lot to do in the way of increasing the quality of services and, unlike the rest of the Health entities in the province, we have the responsibility of raising foreign exchange income for the country.»
