  • IntraCare Center and Fundación FACES have signed an alliance to provide accommodation for cancer patients from outside the capital who travel to Santo Domingo for treatment.

Santo Domingo. IntraCare Center and Fundación FACES have signed a strategic alliance that will directly benefit patients diagnosed with cancer who come from outside the capital and must travel there to receive specialised medical care.  

The collaboration seeks to reduce the financial barriers linked to accommodation, making timely access to treatments, procedures and tests easier. 

Fundación FACES runs a shelter home for people with cancer who have nowhere to stay while receiving treatment in Santo Domingo. With this alliance, IntraCare Center reaffirms its commitment to the comprehensive health and wellbeing of those facing this difficult illness. 

The official signing of the agreement took place in the presence of Fary de León, president of Fundación FACES, and Ivelisse Aquino, administrative and financial director of IntraCare Center. Both representatives stressed the importance of building support networks that go beyond clinical care and respond to patients’ real needs. 

With this collaboration, IntraCare Center and Fundación FACES are joining forces to offer more accessible, dignified and humane medical care, ensuring that no patient has to postpone treatment for lack of a safe place to stay. 

ISO 9001:2015 certification 

IntraCare Center recently reached an important milestone by obtaining ISO 9001:2015 certification, joining the select list of centres in the Dominican Republic that have received this prestigious recognition.  

ISO 9001:2015 certification confirms that IntraCare Center meets the highest standards in quality management. This recognition guarantees the optimisation of internal processes, safety in care and a constant focus on continuous improvement, with the aim of offering world-class service to oncology patients.  

For oncology patients, ISO 9001:2015 certification guarantees treatment based on standardised protocols, which reduces variation in the quality of care and improves safety in the administration of medicines and procedures. This translates into more personalised care and a patient-centred approach, improving the overall treatment experience.
