Dominican Republic medical and public health developments

Overview

The Dominican Republic has seen various developments in its medical sector, ranging from public health research to professional recognition.

Research conducted by the Centro de Orientación e Investigación Integral (COIN) indicated that a multidisciplinary care model for HIV patients resulted in a 74% reduction in mortality compared to conventional treatments. In neurology, the Sociedad Dominicana de Neurointervención y Neurología Vascular (SDNINV) introduced a pilot thrombolysis plan and the ‘Guía Código Ictus 2026’ to standardize emergency responses to strokes. Additionally, the XVIII Central American and Caribbean Congress of Endocrinology addressed the growing challenges of obesity and diabetes.

In the field of professional honors, the Dominican Society of Geriatrics (SODOGE) awarded its highest distinction, ‘Maestro de la Geriatría Dominicana,’ to five specialists during the XII Geriatrics Congress. Furthermore, the Senate of the Dominican Republic issued a resolution recognizing Dr. Elbi Eulogio Morla Báez for his fifty years of work as the country’s first pediatric endocrinologist.
