\"\"Seychelles’ President Wavel Ramkalawan and Cuba’s Minister of Public Health, Jos\u00e9 Angel Portal Miranda, discussed longstanding cooperation between the two nations and explored avenues for new cooperation in a bilateral meeting, State House said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Ramkalawan expressed Seychelles’ gratitude for the Cuban medical brigade, a cornerstone of healthcare support in Seychelles. There are 25 Cuban specialists and 13 general practitioners\u00a0working with the Seychelles’\u00a0Ministry of Health<\/strong>, significantly enhancing the country’s medical services.<\/p>\n

The cooperation extends to medical training, with\u00a0Cuban scholarships<\/strong>\u00a0enabling Seychellois students to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate studies in medicine, further building the nation’s healthcare capacity.<\/p>\n

Ramkalawan also toured several key health institutions and engaged in discussions to strengthen the Seychelles’ healthcare sector.\u00a0He visited the\u00a0La Pradera International Health Centre<\/strong>\u00a0and the Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology and explored advancements in medical treatment and biotechnology that could benefit Seychelles.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Seychelles’ delegation met with a group of Seychellois students currently pursuing medical studies in Cuba.\u00a0It was an opportunity for the students to discuss their progress and ongoing challenges with the President. The students, representing various medical specialties, shared their academic progress and evolving cultural experiences while studying in Cuba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
