30/07/2016 09:48 AM
Medical care is surprisingly good in the Dominican Republic but limited outside the key cities and the quality of care varies among facilities.
Emergency treatment can be obtained in major towns whilst very specialized health care and treatment can be accessed to a high level in Santiago and Santo Domingo. Most ex-pats take out private medical insurance, which is very economical, and this gives access to good, private clinics. The Dominican Republic is becoming an increasingly popular destination for people seeking cosmetic surgery with the rates significantly lower than in other countries and the standards high, many of the surgeons have studied and have being trained in the United States.
In the Puerto Plata area, there is the well equipped private clinic called Bournigal which has an excellent reputation.
