The Dario Contreras trauma hospital in Santo Domingo East has temporarily closed its emergency services during the reconstruction process that is due to finish in February 2015. Other services at the hospital have been closed for the renovations.
Hospital director Roberto Lafontaine said that most patients would be sent to the Ney Arias Lora public hospital in Santo Domingo North, Vinicio Calventi Hospital in Los Alcarrizos, and Rodolfo de la Cruz Lora Hospital on the Duarte Highway.
Lafontaine assured that the work would be carried out around the clock to ensure it was completed on schedule.
At the Luis Eduardo Aybar hospital, which closed last week, only the administrative staff remain in the building and the process of transferring patients has now been completed.
