     “At the beginning of the 2016, we offered 1 million tablets of Paracetamol 500 mg to The National Government. In this moment, Paracetamol tablets still can be very useful to treat patients with dengue disease. We might produce more Paracetamol if The National Government needs it”, said Diego Bruno.
     “Since 2014, LIF has been developing a FONARSEC (1) project. This project has a 60% of the budget from MINCyT(2). In the last months, this project has received a negative impact by inflation and it will need a financial aid from MINCyT. We have given all the information to ANLAP’s Directors because in the next days they will have a meeting with MINCyT’s members”, said Guillermo Cleti.
