Dominican Republic medical assistance requests

Families in the Dominican Republic are seeking government assistance for medical crises involving relatives abroad.

In Dajabón, a family from the Los Miches community has appealed to President Luis Abinader and Foreign Minister Víctor “Ito” Bisonó for help repatriating Sandino De La Rosa from Florida. De La Rosa is reportedly in critical condition in an intensive care unit following a fall and a stroke. The family, citing a lack of financial resources, is requesting state intervention to facilitate medical transport back to the Dominican Republic once his condition stabilizes.

Separately, the Dominican Republic government has clarified its commitment to providing medical support for Berlín de León Castro and her mother. The state has pledged to cover transportation, lodging, and diagnostic studies once a humanitarian visa is secured. While authorities recommended evaluation at Hospital Sírio-Libanês in Brazil, they noted the mother has not yet accepted this suggestion and stated they will respect her decision. The government specified that current funding covers the diagnostic phase, while subsequent treatment coverage remains to be determined.
