UNI Global Union and its affiliates in the Dominican Republic, the National Union of Dominican Nursing Services (UNASED), and the National Federation of Women Workers (FENAMUTRA) have launched this month Together We Care<\/a> in the country. This project, developed by FENAMUTRA in collaboration with the National Council for the Elderly (CONAPE), aims to train and certify healthcare workers in areas such as occupational safety and workplace violence response, promoting unionization, and improving the working and economic conditions of women in this sector. This program is supported by the United States Government through its Agency for International Development (USAID) via the Gender Equality and Equity Action Fund (GEEA Fund).<\/p>\r\n FENAMUTRA and UNASED will work with other healthcare unions to improve the working conditions of workers who need expanded economic and human resources to enhance the quality of care in the country.<\/p>\r\n During the event, an exhaustive analysis of the public health sector and the provision of care services in the Dominican Republic and the Americas region was conducted. The analysis emphasizes developing joint cooperation strategies to improve the working conditions of health sector workers in the country.<\/p>\r\n The Minister of Health presented a plaque of recognition to the Vice President of the Republic for her work in the Health Cabinet during the most challenging times the world and the country have faced, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n
