Cuba and the U.K. Start a Joint Venture to Develop Medicines
BioFarma Innovations, the result of an agreement between the Cuban company BioCubaFarma and the British company SG Innovations Ltd., was launched last August to expedite access of the British Commonwealth and Europe more generally to the broad portfolio of medicines patented by the Cuban biotechnology industry, as well as to its experience in the sector.
Under the title “Bringing Cuban biopharmaceuticals to patients worldwide: a new British-Cuban joint venture,” the seminar also focused on issues such as the commercialization of pharmaceutical products in the world, the protection of intellectual property, as well as the opportunities that exist to expand this relationship and bring Cuban medicines to many more patients on the planet.
It was also announced in the webinar that all of these results had been achieved despite the intensification of the unilateral economic, commercial and financial blockade that the United States has maintained against the Caribbean country for 60 years.
According to what was announced, the Cuban Chamber of Commerce and the British Embassy in Havana will organize a similar seminar next December 11 in Cuba. (TELESUR)
