Since 2019, the DREAM Clinic has provided care to a total of 10,352 patients, including 7,647 women and 2,705 men. Among these, 2,309 were minors who received specialized medical care.
The DREAM program has notably focused on women’s health, with one of the key services being prenatal care, which involved 643 pregnant women. This service has been crucial in identifying high-risk pregnancies early, allowing for timely and targeted management of these cases. Additionally, the clinic has provided care for 2,779 patients suffering from chronic diseases, including HIV (both adults and children), epilepsy, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and mild kidney diseases. This demonstrates the program’s ongoing commitment to managing chronic conditions, ensuring free and high-quality healthcare.
As of June 30, 2024, the clinic continues to serve 3,422 active patients, supported by a team of qualified healthcare professionals and the valuable presence of activists providing essential psychosocial support.
Thanks to funding from AICS in recent years, including the project “Expansion of Maternal-Child Health Services at the DREAM Clinic and Strengthening the System for Safe Blood Bag Supply in Bangui” – AID 12660 – it has been possible to expand chronic disease care, provide critical support to the national transfusion center, and begin preparations for the opening of a new pavilion dedicated to epilepsy care. During a recent visit, the AICS delegation, including Fabio Minniti and Elisa Violi, had the opportunity to evaluate the clinic’s high standards and interact with the DREAM Program team. Since the beginning of the month, responsibility for the Central African Republic has moved from the Khartoum office to the Niamey office.
The clinic remains a key reference point for the community, offering a model of integrated healthcare and excellence, with a positive and tangible impact on patient health.
