The director of the Havana-based Carlos J. Finlay Institute, Francisco Dominguez, announced on Monday that Cuba will assist Equatorial Guinea in a national vaccination program.
According to the website of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, Dominguez met with Prime Minister Ricardo Mangue and with the acting Minister of Health and Social Welfare in Malabo, the country’s capital.
Dominguez briefed his hosts about the different vaccines that Cuba produces such as the pentavalent vaccine and others against tetanus and typhoid fever.
The Guinean authorities not only discussed the acquisition of the Cuban vaccines but they also asked for Cuba’s assistance to develop a system of national vaccination.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of this African country already has a Cuban advisor, member of the Cuban Medical Brigade, who will join the project.
