Plaza de la Salud, the most modern medical center in the Dominican Republic, which is government-owned and run under the supervision of a private board, may have to close down several services because of delays in government funding to cover its expenses. The government provides RD$8 million a month in subsidy, and is behind two months. Engineer Heriberto Castro, president of the board that supervises the hospital, said if the money is not received, the hospital will have to suspend some of its services.
