HIV Inclusive Workplace Program in the Dominican Republic (SPANISH)

This report provides insight in the inclusive of the provision of HIV services, is to address the existing gap in the supply of health services related to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) within the private workplace and in key populations. The target population of Central Roromana's HIV-inclusive workplace health program is mainly focused on their rural employment, specifically those employed in the field and agriculture. This demographic represents a high percentage of Haitian migrant employees and/or those of African descent. However, the coverage and provision of services outside the structure of the company's health program may be limited due to the vulnerabilities and limitations inherent to an irregular immigration status. To address this situation, the company has taken the initiative to hire a private insurance service for the enrollment of employees with irregular immigration status. This allows them to have health service coverage at other clinical sites in the province, thus ensuring that all employees have access to necessary medical care, regardless of their immigration status.
