Alternative Medicine Congress Opens in Havana
HAVANA, Cuba, June 6 (ACN)—The
4th National Convention of the Cuban Society of Bio-Energy
and Natural Medicine (BIONAT 2012) kicks off Tuesday in this
capital aimed at expanding the local experience through the
exchange among experts in the field.
The convention
includes the 5th National Homeopathy Conference, the
Floral Therapy Forum and other events on Traditional Asian
Medicine,
Magnetic Therapy, and other specialties, according to the
organizing
committee.
Participants will discuss presentations on clinical research
and pre and
postgraduate training for doctors, dentists, psychologists,
nurses and
paramedic personnel.
Alternative and natural medicine has been validated by
research made by
the Cuban National Health system and it is used in the
prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of diseases, as well as in the
patients’
rehabilitation stage.
The Cuban Health Ministry is jointly working with the
Agriculture sector
to increase productions that are used in alternative
medicine. This
effort is in tune with the guidelines of the Economic and
Social Policy
of the Communist Party and the Revolution, which emphasizes
the
development of natural medicine, said Doctor Marta Perez who
heads the
alternative medicine department at the Health Ministry.
