Conferences on the promotion of the Demonstration Areas of non-communicable diseases (NCD) are taking place in Holguín from July 1 to 20, with the participation of professionals from the sector who exchange knowledge on the topic.
The municipality of Gibara, some 30 km from the city of Holguin, has achieved favorable results in health indicators, as part of the program to improve this sector in Cuba.
France, the World Food Program (WFP) and health authorities are working on a comprehensive strategy for the supply of micronutrient powder (MNP) for children between six and 23 months of age, official sources informed.
Holguín is among the nine Cuban provinces in which the presence of the Oropouche virus has been confirmed, which leads to increasing the epidemiological surveillance system and measures against its transmitting agent, the mosquitoes of the genus Culex and diptera of the genus culicidae (Jejen culicoide).
