Republic
The Elliott Foundation is pleased to announce that through sponsorship and collaboration with CitiHope, a global Christian humanitarian
relief and service agency, a medical relief shipment with a wholesale value in excess of $175,000 has arrived in Puerto Plata Dominican
Republic. The Recipient, CEPROSH , is a NCF & RNC registered charitable organization which provides education, treatment, awareness
and prevention programs for HIV in Puerto Plata. Medicines will be used by CEPROSH as well as distributed through their Medical Director

Dominican government is implementing a health care reform supported by World Bank. It has been introduced in 2002. The main principal of
the health care reform is the introduction of co-pay system. Currently, only 30-40% of the population has access to health insurance. They
are primarily served by private clinics. 60% of the population including children and senior citizens and unemployed are not covered by health
insurance. The main source of medical services to these population groups is local hospitals that are poorly equipped and lack basic
medicines and medical supplies.
The Elliott Foundation, CHI and CEPROSH entered in partnership to implement an intervention program in providing GMP standard quality
humanitarian pharmaceuticals in support of on-going healthcare reform in DR, primary healthcare level in particular, serving vulnerable poor
groups of the population in the North of the Dominican Republic. The project will improve access of rural uninsured populations to quality
humanitarian medical aid.

will improve the quality of medical assistance throughout Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
CEPROSH, a NCF & RNC registered charitable organization located in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic provides an effective intervention
package targeting HIV prevention and education and patient care.
