The Dominican Republic is undertaking significant investments to expand and modernize its public health infrastructure.

In late July 2026, the National Health Service began a three-stage, billion-peso renovation of Hospital Salvador B. Gautier in Santo Domingo. The project includes the addition of a new emergency department, a trauma-shock unit, and upgraded laboratory and imaging services.

By late August 2026, construction of the San Cristóbal Traumatological Hospital reached 80% completion. This RD$3,225 million project aims to reduce congestion at the Juan Pablo Pina Hospital by providing 62 new beds, specialized intensive care units, and emergency services designed to assist accident victims on the 6 de Noviembre highway.
