This July 28, when World Hepatitis Day is commemorated worldwide, Cuba stands out as a successful example in the control and potential elimination of this disease in children through the use of Heberbiovac HB, a nationally produced recombinant vaccine that has demonstrated high immunogenicity and efficacy.
Due to the possible circulation in Cuba of the XFG (Stratus) subvariant of Omicron, which is highly contagious, health authorities recommend strengthening hygiene measures and resuming the use of face masks, especially in public places, transportation, and healthcare centers.
This week will be a recovery week for those who were ill or who for other reasons were unable to receive vaccination in the previous period.
A new data tabulation program is being implemented by the General Health Directorate of the eastern province of Holguin, aimed at analyzing figures related to the incidence of tuberculosis in the region.
The province of Holguín will host the 13th National Social Work Congress, scheduled to take place from September 23 to 26, 2025, both in-person and virtually, under the theme "Strengthening intergenerational solidarity for the construction of healthy and sustainable environments."
