Feasibility Assessment for Incorporating Family-Based HIV Services in the Dominican Republic (Spanish)

The current Health System in the Dominican Republic is the result of significant reforms over the past two decades, guided by the Ten-Year Health Plan (2006-2015) and the National Development Strategy 2030. It integrates services from the Ministry of Public Health and the Dominican Social Security Institute into a unified network to ensure health and social security for all citizens, led by the Ministry of Health. This feasibility assessment focusses on the Family-Based HIV Service Model in the Dominican Republic. The model addresses the needs of families with HIV-positive members by integrating clinical care with economic, social, and legislative support. It emphasizes accessibility, reducing stigma, and considering the emotional and mental health impacts.
