For East Coast FamiliesDiabetic Foot Wound Treatment in Cuba in East Coast
The East Coast of the United States — spanning from Florida in the south to Maryland and New York in the north — is home to over 2.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. The region's dense senior population, significant African American communities, and high healthcare costs make intensive cognitive rehabilitation programs particularly relevant. Miami, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale offer the most convenient direct charter flights to Havana, while Baltimore, Atlanta, and Charlotte provide connecting flight options.

Comprehensive Wound Treatment Protocol Across East Coast
Effective diabetic foot wound treatment requires a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach — not just a single treatment. Cuba's wound treatment protocol addresses all aspects of wound healing simultaneously, which is why it can succeed where standard U.S. wound care has not.
The wound treatment protocol includes: surgical debridement (removal of necrotic tissue and callus to expose healthy wound bed), Heberprot-P intralesional injections (recombinant epidermal growth factor to stimulate healing in the wound bed), infection management (wound cultures, targeted antibiotic therapy, systemic and local treatment), vascular assessment (Doppler ultrasound, angiography if indicated, referral for revascularization if needed), off-loading (total contact casting, specialized footwear, or crutches to remove pressure from the wound), specialized dressings (moisture-balanced dressings selected based on wound characteristics), and patient education (daily foot inspection, proper footwear, blood sugar management).
This comprehensive approach is delivered by a multidisciplinary team — diabetologist, wound care specialist, vascular surgeon, podiatrist, and rehabilitation specialist — over a 2–4 week intensive program. The concentration of multiple treatments and specialists in a single coordinated program is what differentiates Cuba's approach from the fragmented U.S. wound care system, where patients typically see different specialists in separate visits with limited coordination.
Heberprot-P is not FDA-approved and is not available in the United States. It is not a cure for diabetes. Treatment aims to promote wound healing and prevent amputation. Treatment suitability is determined after individual medical evaluation. Individual outcomes vary.
