The Plaza de la Salud, the advanced medicine center built and operated by the Dominican government in Santo Domingo, is announcing that its Center for Diagnostics and Advanced Medicine, Laboratory and Telemedicine will be operational at the end of January. This will be the most technologically advanced medical facility in the country. It will provide state of the art support to major public hospitals throughout the country that tele-connect, said Archbishop Nicol?s de Jes?s L?pez Rodr?guez, who heads the center’s board. The project is sponsored by the Fundaci?n Juan Manuel Taveras Rodr?guez, set up by a Dominican radiologist who has worked for many years at the Massachusetts General Hospital and taught at Harvard University in Boston. The new center will permit medical consultations from interior Dominican cities with the Santo Domingo facility and major hospital centers in the United States using the latest telecommunications and telediagnostics technology.
