The president of the National Council for Social Security (CNSS) reports that the agency has ordered an allocation of RD$114,830,079 for remodeling and equipping seven daycare centers. Max Puig said that the money is part of RD$396 million that the Social Security System has accumulated for this item and which has not all been spent because part has to be held back for maintenance.

Diario Libre reports that as well as remodeling the daycare centers, the authorities ordered the preparation of three more and the construction of five more nurseries, with the objective of providing a better service in existing ones and increasing the number of beneficiaries paying into the Family Health Insurance program.

The system currently has 85 nurseries or daycare centers which take care of 6,900 children of payroll contributors and with the remodeling and the new constructions that are planned, the authorities expect to cover a population of 10,000 children under the age of five, including private services.
