The director of the Cabral y Baez public hospital in Santiago says that 26 Haitian mothers gave birth to 14 baby girls and 12 baby boys over the weekend of 11-12 January, all reported to be in good health. Hospital spokesman Johny Lama said that many of these mothers had arrived from Haiti to give birth, while the rest lived in the DR with their husbands. He said that the expense of treating foreign patients is a great burden for the hospital, but that they do not deny medical care to anyone who arrives at the hospital. According to hospital statistics, in 2013 they provided services to 25,022 foreigners, of whom 24,507 are reported to be Haitian nationals.
