TALK ON NUTRTION FOR THE WOMEN RUNNING THE
“POPULAR PHARMACIES” OF LA SAGRADA FAMILIA PARISH (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)
The “popular pharmacies”
program, which is dependent on the La Sagrada Familia Health Center, offers
medicines at low cost to several rural communities, many of which are far from
any health center. The women in charge of these small pharmacies carry out this
work as volunteers for the benefit of their community. They regularly broaden
their training regarding medicines and their use. To this effect, we recently took advantage of
Dr. Mireria Morera’s visit, a physician from Spain specializing in
nutrition. Dr. Morera gave a talk to these women so that they in turn would be
able to teach what they have learned in their communities. The training given
by Dr. Morera was very beneficial since the communities
have numerous problems and deficiencies with regard to nutrition.
