For Southeastern United States FamiliesDiabetic Foot Wound Treatment in Cuba in Southeastern United States
The Southeastern United States — including Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, and neighboring states — is home to over 1.1 million Americans living with Alzheimer's. This region has some of the highest Alzheimer's prevalence rates in the nation, driven by large senior populations, significant African American communities (who face disproportionately high dementia risk), and high diabetes rates that compound cognitive decline. Miami, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale offer the most convenient direct charter flights to Havana, while Atlanta, Charlotte, and New Orleans provide connecting flight options.

Comprehensive Wound Treatment Protocol Across Southeastern United States
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.
