Dr. Johan Tapia Bueno, who was being held in temporary police custody, was released on bail from detention at the Palace of Justice yesterday. Earlier this week, Tapia was arrested on medical malpractice charges. Further investigations revealed that he was running an unlicensed medical practice from an apartment in the Evaristo Morales sector of Santo Domingo.
Judge Alejandro Vargas set bail at RD$5 million and placed an exit restriction on Tapia, as well as mandatory appearances before the judge every Monday.
TV personality Hermes Meccarielo accused Tapia of botched surgery. As of yesterday, seven other women have come forth with malpractice accusations against Tapia.
Listin Diario reports that the Tapia case exposes deficiencies in the DR's medical system. The Ministry of Public Health has admitted there is a problem, saying that it does not have the resources to investigate all the medical centers in the city.
