Dominican Republic Expands Healthcare Access with "Más Salud y Bienestar"
Santo Domingo Este Receives Boost to Healthcare Access with "Más Salud y Bienestar" Program Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic – The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Public Health launched its fourth "Más salud: llevando salud a la gente" initiative, bringing much-needed healthcare services to underserved communities. Dr. José Matos, Vice Minister of Quality, spoke exclusively to El Nuevo Diario about the program's impact. "Más salud y bienestar" is designed to address the healthcare needs of communities with limited access, offering hope, knowledge, and support. Dr. Matos stated, "This program brings hope for health, knowledge on how to avoid diseases, and support for those already sick." The program's direct approach to healthcare delivery is crucial, especially in areas like Los Mina, where many residents face significant barriers to accessing essential medical services. He continued, "We visit places like these where people have very low purchasing power, and this program will bring them hope and a better life expectancy." The event in Santo Domingo Este demonstrates the government's commitment to improving healthcare equity. The program's success will be measured by its ability to provide essential services and improve the health and well-being of the Dominican people.
