Health Region 6 has spent RD$9 million this year to assist Haitians at public hospitals in the southwestern provinces of San Juan de la Maguana, Azua and Elias Pina. According to regional director Bolivar Matos Perez, 70% of the births at those public hospitals are to Haitians, most who arrive to the hospitals suffering from serious health complications. He said that the number of patients especially increase on market day, when entry to the DR is relaxed. He said local physicians see more than a million Haitians, and that these receive the same attention as Dominicans, as reported in the Listin Diario.
He said they mostly see pregnant women, that come with many complications, hypertension and toxemia, making for difficult births.
He was interviewed when he accompanied Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez who visited the region to oversee the opening of primary health centers in San Juan and Azua.
