Dominican Republic's SNS reports 98 hospitals are debt-free

The Dominican Republic’s National Health Service (SNS) has achieved significant financial stability, with more than 98 hospitals currently operating with zero debt. According to SNS Director Julio Landrón, these facilities possess sufficient resources in the Single Treasury Account to ensure the continuity of health services.

Landrón reported that during the first seven months of 2026, the hospital network reached record levels of financial stability. Of the 100 hospitals that still have outstanding commitments, more than 50 percent are projected to settle their debts before January.

The expansion of the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa), which has added over 2.5 million new affiliates in recent years, has been a key factor in ensuring financial flow to hospitals. Additionally, the administration has reduced the public health network's accumulated debt from over RD 4,800 million in 2020 to a reduction of more than RD 1,700 million through improved resource management.
