The Siboney International Clinic, created in 2016, is one of the institutions with the greatest potential in Cuba for the development of corporate health and regenerative therapy, having a team of professionals from all specialties and an effective practice of the second treatment in the areas of orthopedics, cosmetology, stomatology and, more recently, ophthalmology.
Located in the Havana municipality of Playa, the center has a representation in the Mariel Special Development Zone, with an office staffed by doctors, nurses and vector operators, to provide an integral pest and vector control program. In addition, other foreign and mixed companies outside Mariel and the diplomatic corps accredited in the island are also attended, with positive experiences in all cases.
Among the main programs of Clínica Internacional Siboney are the quality of life center and outpatient assistance services. These especially favor clients who arrive in the country to enjoy their vacations and stay in rented houses or hotels, who can go to the clinic to receive non-invalidating treatment and after a little rest can continue their normal life, as Dr. María Onelia González Castillo, head of its Commercial Department, explained to Destino Salud.
Corporate health, a guarantee in Cuba
The professionals of this health center also provide services to the residences of foreign diplomats and businessmen living in areas close to the medical facility and to those staying in nearby hotels. Likewise, they extend their assistance to everything related to occupational health and safety in the mixed and foreign entities based in the capital and adjacent provinces. They are also in charge of the sale and replacement of medicines to companies, ships and aircrafts.
Another of its services is the performance of medical check-ups for foreign personnel working on ships and cruise ships, subject to prior agreement with the maritime medical services, since it is a certified institution.
Regenerative therapy, a safe option
Conceived within the quality of life program, regenerative therapy is one of the health services that is gaining more and more followers among Clínica Siboney's clients, and is destined to become one of its leading products. It is a safe, efficient and effective option in the specialties related to esthetics, stomatology and the treatment of orthopedic ailments, which appear to a greater extent in the elderly. One of the advantages of this procedure lies in the product used: platelet-enriched plasma, which has very few contraindications for human beings.
Regenerative therapy is one of the health services that is gaining more and more followers among the clients of the Siboney Clinic.
According to Dr. Yolanda Bruzón Zayas, specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology, this method is applied with the aim of relieving pain in the large joints (knee, ankle, hip), generally caused by osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease in which the articular cartilage is lost. For this purpose, regenerative therapy is used in combination with ozone therapy -whenever possible-, due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory function.
The doctor pointed out that with this procedure they manage to reduce the aging factor and delay the practice of surgery for the prosthetic replacement of the mentioned joints and, on other occasions, they have avoided the operation, because the client has recovered his mobility with a notable reduction of pain and inflammation.
Cuba is increasingly establishing itself as a health tourist destination, and to this end, the Siboney International Clinic in Havana is opening its doors to a variety of medical programs that combine expertise with the quality and warmth of its workers.
