According to the institution’s director, Dr. Orestes Lopez Piloto, this is an unprecedented initiative in the Caribbean nation, designed to provide comprehensive care that includes specialized medical evaluation, imaging studies, physical therapy, and pain relief intervention when necessary.

The clinics are led by a multidisciplinary team comprised of neurologists, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, and physical therapists, in accordance with the current epidemiological situation and the needs of the population, as reported by the Ministry of Public Health (Minsap) on its Infomed website.

During the consultation, each patient will be individually evaluated, and according to clinical criteria, CT scans, ultrasounds, and other diagnostic procedures will be performed.

In cases where necessary, anesthetic interventions will be administered for pain management, as well as physiotherapy treatments aimed at improving quality of life and functional recovery.

The specialist emphasized that although the exact number of patients expected to attend this consultation is unknown, the institution is prepared to provide care, as part of the commitment of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) and its hospital network to the comprehensive care of the population.

The strength of the Cuban healthcare system allows for the organization of this type of response, with the goal of contributing to people’s recovery and facilitating their reintegration into their usual activities and work, the doctor stated.
