- Luke 9:2

Many Dominicans and ethnic Haitians in central Dominican Republic lack access to basic medical care.  Government clinics in rural areas are understaffed and under-resourced.  Many cannot access the government clinics due to lack of documentation.  The clinics of Del Rey Medico provide basic primary care and medications to all, regardless of ability to pay.  Our staff and visiting missionaries also provide much needed basic health education.

We currently operate on a shoestring budget - less than $3,000 per month to cover payments to staff, clinic overhead, and medications.  Both clinics often run out of medications before the end of the month.  We would like to increase the amount of money we can send for medications from just over $1,000 per month to at least $2,000 per month.  Your donations will help make this a reality.

Del Rey Medico participated in a week of mission work with Del Rey Ministries in February.  During this week, we held health education expos in four sugarcane bateys.  A mother brought her one-year-old son to one of these expos and spoke with Dr Gavina Quinterio.  The boy had a very severe fungal diaper rash.  Dr Quinterio gave her an antifungal cream, and told her to follow up in the Consuelo clinic.  Two weeks later, a group of students from St Vincent College visited Dr Quinterio’s clinic.  The mother brought in her son, whose rash was almost completely healed.  The mother is Haitian and has no documentation, so she could not take her son to a government clinic.  This mother was so grateful for the free care she received at the clinic.  This is just one example of how Del Rey Medico is addressing unmet needs in Dominical Republic.
