Cuba can deliver safe, effective and affordable treatments to people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa. There are no long wait times for treatment retinitis pigmentosa in Cuba , either. Their treatment can stop the vision loss associated with this very unfortunate condition, and in some cases, vision is restored.

People diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa who are looking for treatment options have probably come across Michael Moore’s film called Sicko, where he was deploring the state of healthcare in the United States and accompanying people forced into overseas healthcare. He could really have been talking about any developed country.

No one can tell you whether to seek overseas medical treatment or not. If you need treatment retinitis pigmentosa to stop your vision loss, it should be your choice. Granted, it should be an informed choice. Glowing reports of people’s vision being restored should not be the basis for your trip to Cuba, you should not believe everything you read online.

So, what do you look for in an overseas clinic? Straightforward information about exactly what any procedure consists of, who does the procedure, the risks, the cost, and make sure you know exactly what is included in the cost. Do you speak Spanish or will you need an interpreter? While he official language of Cuba is Spanish it pays to note that Cuban Spanish is quite similar to Puerto Rican Spanish. You may want to take along a friend very fluent in Spanish or hire an interpreter as you must understand all the directions you are given during treatment.

There are many factors to consider before booking a flight to Cuba. Can you speak with the staff at the clinic? Did they fully address your concerns? Can you speak with former patients? Cuba is no different than anywhere else, use your common sense and you should be just fine.
