A group of German doctors volunteered their skills and expertise during a week long stay in the remote community of Las Lagunas, in the Central Cordillera. Clave Digital reports that the group, under the auspices of German NGO Eine Welt E.V. and Santiago based Dominican health organization ILAC, treated 750 patients free of charge for a range of ailments. They also provided free medical supplies that had been donated by pharmaceutical companies in Germany. The doctors, who covered all their own travel costs, were provided with accommodation at local family homes during their stay.
