Russia also freezes the stem cells where Mexico only refrigerates them avoiding the use of DMSO during the freezing process before infusing them back into the patient. I’m not sure that this difference in the procedure really matters as both facility’s seem to have about the same results, but it is a difference.

But having been the carer for my husband in Puebla, there was never a time in our apartment we felt unsafe medically even with the tough time he had with chemo.
The doctors were at our beckon call.
The home away from home feeling was great. I believe a nurse is in the apartments 24 -7 now .
Bonding with 15 patients and their carers is something we will never forget.
Best of luck to you in Moscow!
