Facing the possibility of diabetic foot amputation is one of the most difficult challenges a patient and family can encounter. La Pradera International Health Center offers an international treatment option that combines Cuba's Heberprot-P therapy with specialized wound care, infection management, and comprehensive rehabilitation. The program is designed for U.S. patients whose diabetic foot ulcers have not responded to standard treatment and who are seeking additional options before considering amputation. Each case is evaluated individually through medical records review and on-site assessment to determine whether the program is appropriate. The goal is to support wound healing and preserve the foot where medically possible, though outcomes depend on the individual condition, severity, and stage.

Heberprot-P is a Cuban-developed medication containing recombinant human epidermal growth factor, administered by intralesional injection, designed to support the healing of diabetic foot ulcers.
Eligibility is determined through a review of medical records, wound photos, and overall health status. The diabetic foot care team assesses whether the program is appropriate for each patient's specific condition.
Programs typically range from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of the condition, wound status, and individual response. The exact duration is determined after assessment.
The medical team provides honest and transparent communication throughout the program. If amputation cannot be avoided, the care team supports the patient and family through the process and provides rehabilitation options. However, the goal is always to support healing and preserve the foot where medically possible.
