The government-owned National Oncological Institute has opened a hospital in Higuey to offer services to cancer patients living in San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, El Seibo and Hato Mayor. In the past, patients had to travel to Santo Domingo to receive cancer treatment. The new hospital is located at the JN Plaza on Libertad Avenue and is headed by the oncological surgeon, Claudia De los Santos Batlle.
The new medical center will provide consultations as well as clinical treatment, chemotherapy, early diagnosis and multi discipline procedures. Specialists cover medical oncology, surgery, gynecology, hematology, cardiology, psychiatry, nutrition, urology, and the care and pain management.
