How are healthcare services in Dominican Rep?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Dominican Rep, they replied...
"The Dominican Republic offers a wide range of healthcare services, including primary care, specialty care, and hospital services. The public healthcare system is managed by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance, and is funded by the government. The quality of public healthcare varies, with some areas having better access to resources and better quality care than others. Foreign residents do have access to the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay out-of-pocket for some services. Expats in the Dominican Republic often use the public healthcare system, but they may also opt for private healthcare services, which are generally of higher quality," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dominican Rep.
"You must purchase private insurance here. Public medical care is available but it is not the same, it is seriously inferior," commented one expat who made the move to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
