In an interview with the news daily El Siglo to discuss Ministry plans to create a series of neighborhood-based &quot;Family Health Teams&quot; throughout Santo Domingo, Dr. Guzm?n revealed that the popular Dominican artist has agreed to finance the construction of a model clinic to be located in El Caf? de Herrera. [In his new album, JLG has a song decrying the state of public health care in the DR.] Each of the &quot;Teams&quot; will try to provide primary health care to 500-700 families through neighborhood clinics equipped with small laboratories and manned by a doctor, a nurse, a social worker and a health educator. The clinics will offer vaccinations, pediatric attention, dental care and general check-ups. The concept is to take primary care to families turned off by crowded and poorly-equipped clinics at public hospitals, and in the process create a sort of &quot;early warning system&quot; to detect emerging health problems in the barrios. Clinics are already planned for the barrios of Domingo Savio, El Capotillo, Gualey, La Zurza, Maria Auxiliadora, Sim?n Bol?var and 24 de Abril.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Health Minister Dr. Altagracia Guzm?n Marcelino announced yesterday that Dominican recording star Juan Luis Guerra has agreed to finance the construction of one of the Ministry&#146;s new neighborhood family health clinics.
