Monte Plata.– Dozens of residents from the El Cacique community, in the municipal district of Boyá, received free medical assistance during a health operation that included consultations, distribution of medications, enrollment in the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa), and the distribution of lamps to low-income families.
The event was organized by political leader Anderson de los Santos, with the support of the Organization for Development and Community Advancement, SeNaSa, the National Health Service (SNS), as well as other institutions and community leaders.
The initiative is part of a program that seeks to bring health services closer to communities in the Monte Plata province, especially to sectors with the greatest needs.
De los Santos explained that this operation is part of a series of initiatives that have already been carried out in communities such as El Vigía, in Yamasá, and a batey in Sabana Grande de Boyá. Likewise, he announced that they will soon reach El Portón and Los Guineos, also in Yamasá.
