Santo Domingo Este Launches "Más Salud" Public Health Initiative Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic – The Dominican Republic's Ministry of Public Health launched a new initiative, "Más Salud," aimed at improving access to basic healthcare services for residents of Santo Domingo Este. The program, which recently held an event at the San Vicente de Paúl Parish, offers a range of services including cancer detection, mammography, and ophthalmology. Minister of Public Health Víctor Atallah stated, "Más Salud seeks to impact the quality of free medical services for the people of Santo Domingo Este." He emphasized that the program is a crucial step in improving Dominicans' quality of life, aligning with the government's focus on ethical, efficient, and equitable public policies. The initiative goes beyond one-off events; it includes data collection and follow-up care, ensuring long-term support for those who need it. Atallah's call to action was clear: "Come and seek health! Attend these operations, and let us help you achieve health and well-being." The program's comprehensive approach and commitment to follow-up care demonstrate a significant step towards improving healthcare access in the community. The success of the "Más Salud" program in Santo Domingo Este serves as an example for other communities in the Dominican Republic and beyond, highlighting the importance of accessible and comprehensive healthcare initiatives.
