The ministry intends to sensitize the Dominican population through an awareness media campaign across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ministry of Health, in association with the Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), have launched a three-month series of workshops focused on the management of diabetic foot in Dominica, the first of which is being held today at the Public Service&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":37364,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
