SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.- The president of the Ibero-American Forum of Tourism Journalists (FIPETUR), Luis José Chávez summoned the Ministry of Health of the Dominican Republic to explain to the country and the international medical community the reasons why it has refused to Validate the use of Ivermectin as an effective medicine to cure COVID-19 in its initial phase.
Wow: Top journalist calling out the DR Ministry of Health for not endorsing ivermectin (the Ministry didn't reject ivermectin either).
The past president of the Dominican Association of Tourist Press (ADOMPRETUR), considered inexplicable that Minister Rafael Sánchez Cárdenas has not assumed a responsible position to approve or reject the antiparasitic drug that has made possible the recovery of 1,800 patients in at least three reputed medical centers of the country.
More information about the 1800 please.
Chávez, who is part of the communication team and the tourist cabinet of President-elect Luis Abinader, understands that this decision is not only valuable from a medical, scientific and humanitarian point of view, but also for his contribution to the country's reputation as a destination. tourism, especially in the field of health tourism, where the Dominican Republic has achieved an important position in the Caribbean Region.
He also questioned the apathy shown by the health authorities to sponsor a strategy of community empowerment and citizen education to create social discipline against the epidemic, despite the fact that the Ministry and the National Health Service have more than 20,000 promoters of health and the potential support of thousands of social and community organizations.
"The Dominican Republic has been the first country in the world to show the clinical efficacy of Ivermectin in patients affected by the coronavirus," but for some difficult reason to understand, our health authorities have preferred to ignore that fact, while the drug has already been approved in Peru, Bolivia, El Salvador and in seven municipalities in Colombia”, indicated the journalistic leader.
Chávez said that he defends the use of Ivermectin because until proven to the contrary, the clinical results recorded at the Bournigal clinics in Puerto Plata; Doctor Canela de La Romana; and the Punta Cana Medical Center, of the Rescue Group, chaired by Dr. José Natalio, represent the best alternative to control the disease in its early phase, avoid costly intensive care treatment and significantly reduce the death of infected patients.
Offer personal testimony
"I speak with this force of conviction on the subject because I am a personal witness of the effectiveness of Ivermectin through two close relatives affected by Covid-19, who presented the main symptoms of the virus and managed to recover before 48, after being treated with Ivermectin, "he explained.
Ivermectin cures in 48 hours?!
“Two days after the first shot the result was impressive. None had the symptoms, and one of them, the youngest, boasted of having nothing. However, when it was possible to do the PCR test in CEDIMAT, one week later, the result was positive, although it still does not show any of the initial symptoms, "added Chávez.
He stated that the country has lost precious time to officially authorize Ivermectin in patients affected in the early phase of the virus, although the Rescue Group medical team, led by doctors José Natalio Redondo, Johnny Tavares Capellán and Yudelka Merette, have offered reasons more than enough to justify the widespread use of this medicine.
"And most importantly: while the cost of treating a patient treated with Ivermectin could not exceed 1,500 pesos, that of a patient treated in intensive care with assisted ventilation, could exceed one million pesos, according to medical professionals," he said. Chavez.
1500 DR pesos = $26 US.
The first scientific advances on the efficacy of Ivermectin against Covid-19, were achieved through research led by the Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) of Monash University in Melbourne (Australia), together with the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity. (Doherty Institute).
The scientific study showed in cell cultures that the antiparasitic drug, available worldwide, is capable of killing the new coronavirus in 48 hours.
However, it was in the Dominican Republic, specifically at the Bournigal clinic in Puerto Plata, where the product was successfully tested on a significant number of patients who agreed to undergo the procedure under the principle of "compassionate use", which consists of administration of a drug under investigation to people with a chronic or seriously debilitating disease and at risk of death, who cannot be successfully treated with other drugs.
