More than 2,300 individuals were assisted through the generous efforts of the Dirección de Atención Ciudadana (DAC) in 2012, an increase in 8% over 2011 figures. DAC helps provide medical assistance, clinical studies, and various health-related procedures including funerals for those in need. Although DAC is a state agency it often works with local businesses and individuals who can provide help, such as local dentists, for low cost dental care, and ferry companies, who will often provide free or deeply discounted fares for those travelling to and from medical procedures.
DAC offices are located on Avenida Pedro Joaquin Coldwell between Adolfo Rosado Salas and Calle 1, and can be reached by calling 987 87 2593
