The Semma Santo Domingo teaching hospital opened a new section to offer gynecological services and other health services.
The director of the hospital, Carmen Adames, said that this adaptation seeks to strengthen the specialized health services that are provided to women with disabilities in the center and that these actions are carried out within the framework of the project “Promoting the Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Women with Disabilities in the Dominican Republic”.
According to a press release, this project was implemented by the Círculo de Mujeres con Discapacidad (Cimudis) and under the Autonomous Community of the Autonomous Community Madrid-CAM, Fundación ONCE, and the support of the Spanish Confederation of People with Physical Disabilities and Organic (Cocemfe).
“Today, we leave this office operational and reaffirm our commitment to provide services, with quality and love, what we know how to do. This inauguration makes us share in the confidence that they as an institution have in this management of the center and, above all, the hope of strengthening and changing the reality in which many Dominicans live”, concluded Adames.
On her side, the president of Cimudis, Cristina A. Francisco, said she was grateful for the receptivity and valued the support of the center as positive.
“Thanks to the directors of this hospital who promptly offer people living with disabilities the opportunity to serve in employment and now the commitment to help through consultations and medical procedures that we need so much,” she said.
Francisco urged the other institutions to join in to strengthen the inclusion and fulfillment of the sexual and reproductive rights of women with disabilities”.
Through a collaboration agreement between the Semma Santo Domingo hospital and the Círculo de Mujeres con Cimudis, other hospital adjustments will be gradually promoted that improve the service quality and comply with the quality necessary to receive the patients who demand health services.
Accessibility, a guarantee of services, and specialized attention will be the new strategic vision, they reported.
