Vice President aims to solve hospital problems
Vice President Margarita Cedeno and Public Health Minister Freddy Hidalgo met with the management of the Robert Reid Cabral children's hospital for more than two hours yesterday, Thursday 22 May. They agreed to pay the hospital's suppliers who are currently owed RD$82 million.
The agreement was to pay RD$15 million of the debt, and Vice President Cedeno then attended a similar meeting at the Luis Eduardo Aybar hospital to discuss solutions for the hospital, which recently declared a state of emergency.
Public hospitals have been affected by the government decision to stop charging any fees to patients. The move led to a greater than expected demand for services that has not been matched by extra subsidies from the central government.

Yesterday I had the "pleasure" to experience the "Dominican Treatment" in a Dominican hospital, el Dario Contreras. My daughter needed 9 stitches for a big cut on her knee.
I've seen pig stables cleaner than this hospital!!!
It's a disgrace!!!
I must say that the staff treated us very well and that we were treated a lot better than the nationals but I reckon that had also to do because a girl was hurt and also because of my personality and that I know how to get things done from Dominicans and that I speak the language like a latino.
I took some pictures of the room where they put the casts on, see for yourself.
Let this be a warning to all foreigners living on a small budget.
If you get hurt or get sick and don't have any money you'll be FUKKED!!!
