“A healthier stay in Havana” is the slogan that backs up Camilo Cienfuegos International Clinic, a top-of-the-line institution with a specific value added: its privileged location in Havana’s central Vedado, so it is easy for visitors to have access to this clinic.
There is no better framework to launch the new Camilo Cienfuegos International Clinic brand than 2018 Cuba Salud Convention and Salud para Todos Fair, to be hosted by Havana’s Convention Center.
Its 25-year experience in providing ophthalmologic medical care to international markets and comprehensive healthcare programs, allows this Center to diversify its products and offer new services to boost its strengths and fulfill the demands of the tourism, urban and entrepreneurial growth at the Cuban capital.
The Clinic has developed a Comprehensive Management System that meets the requirements established in regulations NC-ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001, which entail continuous improvement dynamics, process efficacy, and support years of welfare practices in line with internationally certified standards.
The entity’s general manager, Dr. Lazaro Joaquin Perez Aguiar, said that diversification is a true challenge, but thanks to their organizational culture they can introduce new skills, know-hows and continuous improvements in the welfare process that engulfs all medical specialties.
“It is all about turning a highly-specialized clinic into a center offering an array of services. That can only be done in such a country as Cuba, because of the strengths of the National Healthcare System and human capital made up of experts in each specialty.
“That speaks highly of our standards, since medical services match the most prestigious and demanding international regulations. For example, we have been certified by the 2008 ISO and we will be soon assessed by international experts from AENOR (a Spanish agency), according to the 2015 regulations,” he explained.
The whole institution and its processes will apply for the Joint Commission International certification, with the first steps being taken during the 2018 Cuba Salud Convention in order to obtain those certifications in terms of health quality and safety.
“The export of our services in a bid to increase the number of patients has been already included as a new mode within the business portfolio of Cuban medical services, thus treating more patients in those countries and on the Caribbean island,” the doctor pointed out.
The challenge of offering new services and enhancing the product portfolio in other medical specialties is a response to the diversification and comprehensiveness of its development strategy, since intensive care, emergency services and external consultations have been already introduced.
The services are based on this platform, with leading roles being played by such specialties as ophthalmology, internal medicine, orthopedics, gynecology, stomatology, dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, urology, natural and traditional medicine, maxillofacial surgery, aesthetic surgery, among others; as well as diagnostic studies and medical genetics, emergency service and intensive care.
Distinguished by excellent healthcare assistance, human capital, its comprehensive management system as the pillar to support the quality and efficacy of NC-ISO certified processes since 2006, cutting-edge medical equipment, scientific and technologic level, national and international distinctions and prizes, along with its easy-to-access position in the city, this clinic is a privileged health destination.
