Health Systems

In order to meet the health needs of specific population groups, our efforts focus on:

Valid and Reliable Data

Providing data for evidence-based interventions and adjustments aimed at optimizing the impact of specific health programs on population health, including community health, preventive and primary care services, as well as public and private secondary and tertiary clinical settings.

Health System Components

Addressing topics related to policies, coverage, quality and accessibility of different health system components.

Innovative Initiatives

Prioritizing knowledge, attitudes and practices of human resources in health, as well as community empowerment and service networks, through our projects, as key elements for the outcomes of health services, both in the Dominican Republic and internationally.
