Sources: 6. Developments: 2. Philanthropist Dr. Antonio Cruz Jiminián announced plans to establish a specialized hospital for terminally ill patients in Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic. The project aims to address a lack of palliative care, noting that many patients are currently discharged to die at home without essential medical support or pain relief. The proposed facility, supported by a 20-year government land lease and a promised $100,000 donation, was designed to include individual cabins with kitchens and living areas to allow families to stay with patients. Construction has since officially begun on the ‘Hospital de la Dignidad’ in Santo Domingo Oeste. Led by the Cruz Jiminián Foundation, the center is intended to provide care for individuals with conditions such as cancer, brain tumors, and multiple sclerosis, ensuring they can spend their final days with dignity and without pain. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Hospital de la Dignidad construction begins in Santo Domingo Dr. Félix Antonio Cruz Jiminián has begun construction on the Hospital de la Dignidad in Santo Domingo, a palliative care center for terminally ill patients. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hospital-de-la-dignidad-construction-begins-in-santo-domingo ### 2026-08-24: Antonio Cruz Jiminián to build terminal illness center in Dominican Republic Dr. Antonio Cruz Jiminián plans to build a hospice hospital in Manoguayabo, Dominican Republic, to provide dignified end-of-life care for terminal patients currently discharged without adequate medical support. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/antonio-cruz-jiminin-to-build-terminal-illness-center-in-dominican-republic --- Cite as: Hospital de la Dignidad construction in Dominican Republic.
