Latin Amer Expert Praises Cuban Achievements in Treatment of Diabetes
Havana, Nov 16 (acn) Doctor Juan Rosas Guzman, President of the Latin
American Diabetes Association (ALAD), praised on Thursday Cuba's
achievements in the treatment of this disease.
Speaking to ACN, Guzman, who is participating in the 13th Latin
American Congress on Diabetes that concludes Friday at Havana's
Convention Center, said that in spite of Wa****ngton's financial,
commercial and economic blockade, Cuba's efforts to guarantee the
treatment of the almost 350,000 patients who suffer from diabetes on
the island are remarkable.
Rosas Guzman, who was elected as ALAD president for the 2007-2010
period during this meeting that is being attended by 1,600 experts from
33 countries, praised the Cuban National Program to Fight Diabetes that
goes from primary health care to specialized treatments.
"I have been a friend of Cuba for many years and I am familiar with all
the programs implemented on the island to improve the quality of life
of people and, particularly, of those who suffer from diabetes," noted
Guzman, who highly commended Cuban specialists for their high
professional level.
ALAD is formed by more than 5,000 members from 18 countries and also by
a group of specialists who work on diverse areas in Latin America. It
promotes the program 'United against Diabetes', approved by the World
Health Organization.
Today, there are 19 million people suffering from diabetes in Latin
America and 250 million around the world. Seven million people die
every year as a result of this disease that has already become a
pandemic, concluded the ALAD President.
