Ellen Koenig, MD is the Director of Instituto Dominicano De Estudios Virologicos (IDEV). She says, “The Dominican Republic at the present time does most of the CD4 testing using flow cytometry and the Daktari CD4 system would mean that these people would no longer have to rise early in the morning and travel long distances to be tested.”
