Havana, (EFE). Brazil and Cuba signed three agreements today to jointly develop medicines and vaccines against Alzheimer’s or diabetes. They do so by taking advantage of synergies, and to resume scientific and technological exchanges.
September 16, 2023 – 16:45
The signing of cooperation in health matters took place during the meeting held at the Palace of the Revolution in Havana by the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, and his Brazilian counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, visiting the island on the occasion of the summit of the Group of 77 and China between this Friday and Saturday. The agreements include developing innovations in vaccines and medications for chronic diseases such as Alzheimer’s or diabetes.
The meeting reflects the resumption of bilateral relations between the socialist country and the South American giant, which were frozen during the mandate of the previous Brazilian president, the far-right Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022).
The two countries will reactivate their binational committee with health authorities, which will proceed to define a work agenda that benefits both countries, in which Cuba will contribute its “state-of-the-art knowledge” and Brazil, its ability to “produce at scale.”

Even to support agriculture, explained the Brazilian Minister of Science and Technology, Luciana Santos.
