A joint effort for workplace well-being
The enablement of this service point was made possible thanks to the efforts of the senator for Samaná, Pedro Catrain, who identified the need to prevent workers from having to travel to other locations to complete their procedures. In addition to Burgos and Catrain, the event was attended by Dr. Jhordanis Rodríguez, provincial director of IDOPPRIL, and Dr. Santiago Hidalgo, director of the hospital center.
With this new office in Las Terrenas, IDOPPRIL consolidates its presence in Samaná, reaffirming its commitment to reducing response times and facilitating procedures related to work-related accidents and disabilities, thereby improving the quality of life for the Dominican workforce.
