The second memorandum will allow sharing researches, medicines and advances in cancer treatments, Human Immunodeficiency Virus and neuro-restorative medicine from the island.
During the meeting, the Cuban minister acknowledged the Mexican government’s interest in social welfare and expressed optimism about the success of the bilateral cooperation and the improvement of primary health care in that locality.

For his part, Mancera stated that for Mexico City these agreements are reasons for encouragement and satisfaction and expressed interest in expanding the exchanges to the areas of biotechnology and professional training.

In exclusive statements to Prensa Latina, the Mexican official said that Cuba has a rich program of professionals working directly with the families, which was and will be a great influence for the program El Médico en Tu Casa.
