Antigua and Barbuda, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a hospital in China to offer a cancer prevention vaccine.<\/p>\n
The Health Minister, Sir Molwyn Joseph, who was part of the delegation headed by Prime Minister Gaston Browne, shared this news on his return to the country. According to Sir Molwyn, Antigua and Barbuda could become the first Caribbean country to offer this vaccine, which could become a reality within two years. During his visit, he was impressed by the state-of-the-art science and technology, and the Chinese approach to dealing with various diseases taking the lives of Antiguans and Barbudans, such as diabetes.<\/p>\n
One of the highlights of his visit was the opportunity to visit a hospital and witness a piece of equipment that gives them the capacity to screen for cancer.\u00a0 The machinery not only diagnoses patients at the latter stage of the disease but is also able to forecast it.<\/p>\n
Currently, the Chinese are working on a vaccine that can prevent cancer, and are developing new technology to give the body the ability to fight the disease. According to the scientists, this technology is about two years away from maturing, and Antigua and Barbuda will have the opportunity to be the first in line for the finished product, which can be shared with the rest of the Caribbean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Antigua and Barbuda, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a hospital in China to offer a cancer prevention vaccine.
