Panama Values Cuban Orthopedics
Despite limitations generated by the US economic blockade Cuba produces first-class medicine, asserted Panamanian expert Carlos Pareja during the International Orthopedics Congress in Cuba.

In declarations, the chief of orthopedics from the Rafael Hernandez Hospital praised the achievments of the island regarding orthopedics, especially the "excellent quality" internal-fixing technique.

This orthopedic system introduced by the island helped many nations face natural disasters, assured the scientist.

Extended to over 30 nations, RALCA external-fixing includes cemented and non-cemented prostheses and spare prosthesis.

In the expert's opinion, Cuba has a very well trained medical staff which is respected all over the world, as a result of a social model capable of prioritizing the poorest sectors.

Pareja is one of the main speakers to the Forum that is taking place in this Cuban western municipality with the presence of 300 delegates.
