If someone does not have insurance and no credit card don’t they go to public hospital.
Yes, I would think so. But Americans and Europeans will have cash or credit cards.
Ya but what about the broke back whore monger who comes to find love on a budget BWM lives matter too.. his credit card is max from being western union papi...
Can one just show cash and be admitted ? Pay upfront a deposit or how does that work.
The division public/private hospitals goes not along passport lines. In the DR it goes along the wealth lines.
An issue for the government is the deportation of ill, uninsured foreigners (after accident, stroke, etc.). This could be costly and therefore some goverments require insurance.
Doesn't the gov't insist on a policy as part of the residency application...
you buy it here - in RD - as part of the procedure... annual renewals

I guess he (or she) needs to plan a bit better. Mom and Dad always told me to plan ahead.
Common sense, Logic and Math are the things i look for in politics. you can't imagine how disappointed I am...
Political logic is an oxymoron and math is pure logic, beyond the intellectual capability of most politicians especially when it involves deficit spending. 😂😂
Private takes cash too.
But, you're right. For many Dominicans, public hospital is really their only and best option, but they don't pay for pharmaceuticals like insulin. People here die from easily treated but chronic conditions.
They do good work for cuts, scraps, etc. They definitely save lives and at least provide a basic level of care.
As for conditions, they are not the nicest facilities and I marveled at documents area which is a museum for paper records keeping. There equipment is used and probably donated. Deferred maintenance is everywhere.
However, they make due with what they have to work with which is not much.
Well I tell you the public hospital in Rio SAN JUAN is a matadero. In 2017, a guy got an accident on a 115 had an accident in front of our house and my cousin and I, we took him in a camioneta to RSJ. What I saw there is a bloody shame. We contacted his family and took him to POP.
In Cabrera anything serious always was transported to Nagua, where things ain't that much better
all this is making me very paranoid, with the crazy driving practices I've been witness to & the wuhan flu......
Nagua then on to SD oftentimes....
altho lots of SD doctors work 1-2 days/week in Nagua
You are probably from a place that has cradle to grave so called free medical insurance. I am told most places are like that.
My home country and the DR are not like that.
