    China, Cuba unite to fight disease 10/17/2005
    The Chinese-Cuban Biotech Pharmaceutical Co. opened its Beijing factory on Sept. 28—the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two socialist countries.

    According to the Cuban newspaper Ahora, this facility will produce the TheraCIM h-R3 monoclonal antibody to treat neck and head cancer. The German drug maker Oncoscience is also interested in this medicine.

    Two days before the Beijing plant was opened, a vaccine factory using Cuban technology started up in China’s northeastern Jilin province. In 1999, Cuba had donated over a million dollars worth of hepatitis B vaccines to areas in China that suffered floods.

    At a time when people all over the world are concerned about a possible flu pandemic, this collaboration between Cuba and China to develop vaccines is great news.
