Dominican Republic
The Health Policy Project (HPP) helped countries achieve their health goals by building capacity for policy, advocacy, governance, and finance at multiple levels. The project developed global tools and best practices for policy work, promoted South-South sharing and collaboration, and carried out regional and country-specific policy initiatives. The files included in this zip document provide brief program overviews for each country highlighting key accomplishments. Individual briefs are available from the country pages.

In the Caribbean, transgender persons are disproportionately affected by HIV. Moreover, high levels of stigma and discrimination create significant barriers and make it difficult for them to access the health care services they need. Most clinicians in this region also do not receive any training on transgender health or broader issues of sexuality and diversity, further limiting availability of transgender-friendly services.
In response, HPP has developed a training manual for healthcare workers in Jamaica, Barbados, and the Dominican Republic to strengthen their capacity to provide high-quality, stigma-free health services for transgender persons. This brief highlights key content from each of the chapters contained in the manual.
