Healthcare Services in Cuba

Cuba is a country noted for its advanced biotechnology research, innovative cancer treatments, and world-renowned healthcare system. QBA Medi Tours guides patients seeking treatment in Cuba through every stage, from the application process to travel planning.
How Can I Apply for Treatment in Cuba?

You can apply by calling +90 212 212 04 28 or by filling out the application form on www.qba-meditours.com.

Is the Cancer Vaccine Suitable for Every Patient?

Not necessarily. Cuba’s cancer vaccines are designed as complementary treatments that strengthen the immune system and are developed for specific types of cancer. Therefore, Cuban doctors conduct a detailed assessment based on the patient’s overall health, cancer stage, and other medical factors.

If I Am Not Eligible for the Vaccine, Are There Alternative Treatments?

Yes. If the patient is not suitable for the vaccine, there are various alternative and supportive treatment options available in Cuba. After a thorough evaluation, the most appropriate treatment plan is created. These alternative treatments usually aim to boost the immune system, improve quality of life, and slow disease progression.

How Much Does Treatment in Cuba Cost?

The cost is determined and communicated after the patient evaluation process by the Cuban Ministry of Health.

Should the Cancer Vaccine Be Administered Before Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy?

The vaccine is a complementary treatment and requires the patient to have completed at least three cycles of chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

What If My Patient Is Not Fit to Travel to Cuba?

Whether the patient is fit to fly is determined by Cuban doctors. If travel is not possible, medications can be provided through a family member or caregiver.

Will I Stay in Contact With the Doctors After Returning From Cuba?

Yes, the QBA Medi Tours team continues to assist you even after your treatment in Cuba and helps maintain your communication with Cuban doctors.
