Murillo said that, according to the director of the National Research Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology Gamaleya, Alexánder Guínzburg, the trials will begin in a month and a half, and Nicaragua was confirmed as one of the participating countries.

“Thanks to God and the brotherhood with the Russian Federation, we will be part of these clinical trials of vaccines and treatments against cancer, so important for the life and health of our people,” said the leader.

During his speech to the Sandinista press, she also referred to the meetings held in Moscow between the Nicaraguan delegation and the Russian atomic energy corporation Rosatom, with the aim of making progress with the design of the Nuclear Medicine Center to be built in Managua.

She also said that the talks included agreements on the provision of assisted breathing systems, oncology drugs and other medical supplies as part of joint efforts to strengthen access to health and well-being for Nicaraguan families.
