Medical Genetics Services maintain excellence in Sancti Spíritus

Since the early nineties years, Sancti Spiritus has had a prestigious Medical Genetics Center, subordinated to the Camilo Cienfuegos Provincial Hospital.

This center, with modern technology and a team of specialists, offers comprehensive care to its patients.

The center’s genetics program not only treats pregnant women, but also families with genetic diseases and people with genetic disabilities.

Clinical genetics consultations are centralized in the province due to the low frequency of genetic diseases in the general population.

The center has biochemistry and cytogenetics laboratories, and up-to-date ultrasound equipment. More than 90% of the consultations are for pregnant women, although only those at risk of congenital defects, obesity or over 37 years of age are evaluated here. They also corroborate congenital defects diagnosed in primary health care.
