According to Granma newspaper, the production capacity of bulbs and lyophilized liquids has been doubled.

In addition, the production of serum, a vital supply for medical assistance in health institutions, was recently resumed.

At present, the newspaper said, batches of five percent Dextrose and Hemodialysis are being packaged, while for the filling part they are working with Sterile Water bags.
