Medical tourism is a booming industry in the Dominican Republic. The medical sector has outfitted itself to serve most of the needs of the population of the country. People who can afford to be treated abroad are now carrying out most of the medical check-ups and procedures in the country. The country’s excellent air connectivity and high-quality services are also drawing hundreds of thousands of Dominicans who live abroad and tourists who are attracted by the price-quality ratio for Dominican medical services.
The upcoming 7th International Health and Wellness Tourism Congress is an opportunity to glance at what is happening in medical tourism here, the innovations and cross-industry collaborations. Backed by key public and private institutions, this congress has become the region’s most influential platform for advancing medical tourism.
Today the Dominican Republic features medical facilities catering to international visitors with advanced technologies in the capital city, Santiago and tourism areas, such as Punta Cana. Medical, dental and wellness facilities compete by offering lower prices for quality and personalized services.
The congress is scheduled for 23 October 2025 at the Marriott Piantini in Santo Domingo.
The event will gather top-tier leaders from healthcare, hospitality, finance, technology, and government to explore cutting-edge trends, transformative business models, and high-impact investment opportunities in the rapidly expanding health tourism sector.
The event stands as the leading platform for networking, innovation, and business development in the medical tourism sector in Central America and the Caribbean. It will bring together prominent national and international leaders from the healthcare, tourism, finance, and technology sectors, who will discuss trends, advancements, and investment opportunities in this ever-growing industry.
The event will welcome hospitals, clinics, hotels, insurers, financial institutions, investment funds, travel agencies, airlines, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology providers, and government representatives, creating an unparalleled ecosystem of collaboration and business development.
The event is presented by the Dominican Medical Tourism Association (ADTS), coordinated by Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso.
“The Dominican Republic continues to set new standards in healthcare and wellness, leveraging state-of-the-art infrastructure, international certifications, and groundbreaking patient-centered care models. This event reinforces our commitment to innovation and positions the country as a premier destination for medical excellence,” said Dr. Cambiaso.
The ADTS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the Dominican Republic as a world-class health tourism destination, fostering public-private synergies, international certifications, and best practices to enhance the quality and global reach of Dominican healthcare and wellness services.
