Main Points
The Hospital Regional Traumatológico Dr. Fidel Mejía Ramírez, located in Yaguate, San Cristóbal province, is set to be handed over to the public health system in the coming days. The facility, which began construction on 21 July 2024, represents an investment of more than RD$3 billion, covering both civil works and the procurement of medical equipment. President Luis Abinader and Minister of Housing and Buildings Jean Luis Rodríguez will deliver the hospital. The new center is intended to provide specialized trauma care for patients with severe injuries, particularly those resulting from traffic accidents. By offering immediate treatment in the southern region, the hospital aims to reduce the need to transfer patients to hospitals in the Greater Santo Domingo area and to ease the burden on emergency departments elsewhere. The Ministry of Housing and Buildings (MIVED) reports that the project responds to a long‑standing demand for advanced medical services in San Cristóbal and neighboring provinces. Once operational, the hospital will become part of the region’s health infrastructure, improving emergency response capabilities and expanding access to specialized care.
