The isolation measures imposed by the Dominican Government to counteract the spread of covid-19, gave way to the temporary modification of the offer of medical services, but currently all the medical services are available (as the pandemic is being controlled in the DR) except the dental service, given that a new dental chair and an air sterilizer are necessary to meet the new health and safety protocols.

We have been developing a program to fight malnutrition, which is the result of insufficient food consumption and the repeated appearance of infectious diseases, it can be chronic, acute and malnutrition according to the body weight. Malnutrition means having a body weight that is lower than normal for your age, being shorter than your age (growth retardation), being dangerously thin, or being deficient in vitamins and / or minerals.
At our pediatric center the “Healthy Child” program is carried out, which provides follow-up to the development of children under 5 years of age with nutritional deficiencies. This program is executed through an alliance with the entities Sanar una Nación and Unicef and benefits the children of the community of Verón and surrounding areas (524 patients in the last 3 months) who not only receive therapeutic food according to their age and condition; but also the specialized services of medical personnel, who have been trained in the use of new tools for measuring acute malnutrition.

Due to “new normal” there have been new challenges to face:

In the last November representatives of Akron Children’s Hospital (an ally entity our Foundation) visited our pediatric center and had a productive work schedule along with the staff of Fundacion Grupo Puntacana and the personnel of the center. One of the meetings was leaded by Mrs. Haydée Rainieri (Vice President of Fundación Grupo Puntacana) and Mrs. Grace Wakulchikm (President of Akron Children’s Hospital).
The main objective of their visit was to weigh up the achievements and the new opportunities for collaboration through our inter-institutional alliance (training and internship programs, others) in order to continue contributing to the well-being of children residing in the most disadvantaged communities
Nowadays the clinic continues offering health prevention programs, outpatient consultations, dental care, vaccination, emergency, laboratory, nutrition program, pharmacy services, x ray services, training program.
As time goes by, the number of child patients (0-15 year old) belonging to families with limited economic resources increases, meeting the growing demand while maintaining the quality of the medical service is a challenge.
Relevant monthly statistics: More than 1,000 children vaccinated , more than 1, 800 children served in emergency unit, more than 2,000 children served in the out patients consultations
There are still many needs to meet; we hope that you will continue to partner with us in our commitment to make it:
