PIP: Named after the first female doctor in the Dominican Republic and established in 1987 with the goal of providing high-quality services in a welcoming atmosphere at low prices, the Evangelina Rodriguez Maternal and Child Health Clinic now serves 80% of all residents of north Santo Domingo city. The center's 6 physicians and 3 nurse's aides provide maternal and child health care, including family planning and gynecological services, to 300 people daily in a marginalized area of the city where people live in overcrowded neighborhoods. The Director of Services in the southern region of PROFAMILIA, the family planning association in the Dominican Republic, supervises the clinic's services. Another of PROFAMILIA's clinics is named after an advocate of women's rights in the country, Rosa Cisneros, a lawyer who was murdered in her home, in San Salvador, on August 18, 1981, in the context of a civil war in the country. The Rosa Cisneros Clinic in Santiago de los Caballeros has 16 employees, including administrative staff, counselors, doctors, and nurses who serve almost 300 people per day.^ieng
