Community medical missions in Dominican Republic

Overview

Community medical missions have been conducted in various regions of the Dominican Republic to provide healthcare services to underserved populations.

In San Francisco de Macorís, the Duarte Area Health Management and the National Health Service organized an initiative at the Josefa Emilia Ortega School. This mission provided medical consultations, preventive care, and free medications, while also facilitating registration for the National Health Insurance Subsidized Regime. Dr. Oscar A. Paula Bretón stated that such interventions “strengthen primary care and help identify local health needs.”

Following this, the Fundación Monseñor Felipe Bello announced its 18th ‘Donando Sonrisas’ program mission in Jarabacoa. This operation focuses on children and families, offering dental services such as root canals and surgeries, alongside medical and ophthalmological care. The mission also includes the distribution of donations sourced from the Dominican diaspora in Miami and New York.
