HAVANA, Cuba, Feb 25 (acn) Since its founding on February 26, 1989, by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, Havana's International Center for Neurological Restoration (CIREN) has received 120,000 patients of 93 countries, including Cuba.
Doctor Emilio Villa, president of the institution, told ACN that it has developed in an avant-garde position in the field of neurosciences.
It also has a program of intensive multi-factor Neurological Restoration, which combines basic and clinical research, medical diagnostic, treatment, rehabilitation and surgery; and promotes possibilities of recovery of patients.
In 2014, the center offered medical assistance to 548 patients of 38 countries.
Villa specified that in spite of the difficult external and internal economic conditions and the limitations caused mainly by the U.S. blockade of Cuba, CIREN maintains its image and prestige, which makes it possible for it to receive every year patients from new countries.
It also continues exchanges between professionals in the scientific and teaching spheres and maintains the transference of technology towards other nations, like Argentina and Spain, concluded the expert.
