Hospital Jaime Sánchez expands maternal care with new specialists

Hospital Jaime Sánchez in Barahona has expanded its maternal care capabilities by hiring two new gynecologists and obstetricians. This staffing increase aims to improve response times for births, cesarean sections, obstetric emergencies, and gynecological consultations.

The expansion addresses growing demand at the facility, which serves as a key reference point for maternal assistance within the Enriquillo region. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the National Health Service (SNS) and the Enriquillo Regional Health Service (SRSEN) to ensure that hospital infrastructure and equipment are supported by sufficient specialized personnel.

According to regional health officials, these actions align with government efforts to strengthen the public hospital network through investments in human resources and medical services to provide timely and humanized care.
