Description:

Dream Ministries is committed to helping the people around Barahona, Dominican Republic. We support a full time medical clinic that is run by Dr. Jorge Volquez Alcantara. In addition we coordinate a number of different mission trips including:

Medical teams
Building teams
Clinical teams

Clinica Buen Samaritano serves the medical needs of the people in Batey 7 and surrounding Bateys. It provides basic care and dispenses prescriptions.

Medical teams perform operations at the Hospital in Barahona. We have been very fortunate to have the support of the top people at the hospital.

The Dominican Republic has nationalized medicine but because it is not a wealthy nation free medical treatment is limited mostly to basic coverage. If someone needs an operation they have to travel to the capital and wait or go to one of the private hospitals in the area. Neither option is generally available to the people we are serving.

Our medical teams operate three or four times a year and Dr. Jorge prescreens the patients and gets them set up for our teams.

During our trips we usually perform between 70 to 100 operations and see thousands of people at the clinics that are set up in different areas around Barahona.
