The Management Group of Cuba´s Pharmaceutical Biological Laboratories (LABIOFAM) has expanded the control of malaria in Africa, where this disease kills two million people every year, according to an announcement made in this capital by Doctor José Antonio Fraga.
Cuba has cooperated with the medicament to eradicate malaria.
Fraga, the head of that institution, told ACN that Angola, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Tanzania, Equatorial Guinea and the People´s Republic of the Congo are among countries with which Cuba has cooperated with the medicament to eradicate that disease. The island also cooperates in this regard with Nicaragua, Brazil, and other South American states.
Cuba has transferred the medicament´s technology to several nations and today it´s producing it in China and Argentina, and will soon open factories in another six countries, pointed out Fraga.
He underlined that the medicament developed by LABIOFAM -called GRISELESF- is showing favorable results in the African continent, and added that contracts with various nations and the participation of Cuban specialists with national products are increasing.

I wonder how a small country like Cuba, embargoed for decades by the USA can still reach out, produce medicines and make a difference in a multitude of countries while wealthier countries in NA and EU cant.
