Dominican Republic 

One-quarter of the Dominican Republic’s population lives in poverty. Access to health care is limited in many rural areas. The country has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the Caribbean — 32 infant deaths per 1,000 born. An estimated 40 out of 1,000 children do not live to see their 5th birthday.

Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with the Episcopal Diocese of the Dominican Republic and Clinicia Esperanza y Caridad, an Episcopal medical clinic located in the southeastern coastal city of San Pedro de Macoris.
