The Medina government says that remodelling works have turned the Maternidad Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia into one of the most modern maternity hospitals in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Medina administration invested RD$1.07 billion in the remodelling that took over six years. The director of the National Health System (SNS) Chanel Rosa Chupany said that the center is part of government efforts to reduce maternal and child mortality indicators.
The Maternidad Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia has 159 beds for birthing mothers and 73 for newborns. The hospital registers on average 16,000 births and more than 100,000 emergencies.
The works were carried out by the Office of Supervisory Works of the State (OISOE) under the Presidency of the Republic.
