Haitians make up 24% of patients
The director of the Nuestra Senora de la Altagracia Maternity Hospital, Dr. Juan Cid Troncoso said yesterday that of every 100 patients they see, 24 are Haitians. Of 80 births that take place on average every day at the country's largest public maternity hospital, 20 are to Haitian mothers. He explained that treating Haitian nationals costs the hospital RD$300,000 per month of the RD$4,800,000 it receives from the government.
He said the costs of caring for the Haitians are greater because they are more likely to come in with complications from diabetes, hypertension or severe anemia and remain at the hospital for up to 40 days. "Normally, five or six women arrive at the same time with an advanced delivery. They bring them on a bus and leave them without a single relative to support them. Many arrive bleeding and we have to find blood for them," said Dr. Cid Troncoso.
The doctor pointed out that in the Maternity Hospital people are treated without any discrimination between locals or foreigners, but the critical conditions in which several foreign patients arrive tend to distort the Dominican Republic's health statistics.
"Here no one is stopped at the entrance, nor is anyone refused treatment, for one simple reason: Humanity." This is why the hospital has decided to separate statistics for foreign and Dominican patients. Cid Troncoso told reporters from El Caribe that, "Dominican public health statistics are tarnished by patients coming from Haiti." After Haitians, the hospital receives a large number of Colombians, and sometimes also foreign patients from countries such as Italy, Cuba and Venezuela.

In addition to being concerned about the usual corruption and rampant crime in DR, can a Dominican be concerned about the very real negative impact of uncontrolled illegal immigration from an even poorer country without being labelled 'anti-haitian'?
It's not like we're getting an influx of illegal immigration of engineers, doctors, businessman, teachers and other professionals.

I don't have a background in economics, but here in the USA there is a well known problem with the amount of US citizens with no health insurance which keeps medical costs high. Now imagine in cities where there's a large amount of illegal immigrants who give birth at a much higher rate and you can see how it can add to the negative impact. I can only imagine it would be worse for a 3rd. world country.

i talked about this not long ago. that haitian are taking over the hospital and draining our resoruces and that haitian women now go to the dr side just to give brith. i argued with our dominican ngo here in the forum mother theresa baldoria regarding this matter. the way these people see it is that haitian are too poor and we need to be human and accept them here. they will probably realized the truth when the haitian destroy our part of the island too. it is very scary what is happening to our country. by the time we all wake up it will probably be too late. that is why we need to keep raising the alarm about this matter.

vacanos, you keep referring to Baldoria as an NGO. can you explain that? to the best of my knowledge, Baldoria is one person. an NGO is a collection of people.do you know what an NGO is, or do you just like the way that the arrangement of letters sounds?

an NGO is a collection of people.

Non-governmental organization (NGO) is a term that has become widely accepted for referring to a legally constituted, non-business organization created by natural or legal persons with no participation or representation of any government

my poor mona there you go. he is one of the many people trying to do harm to our country. it is best to describe these people as ngo when refering to one of them. you got any other suggestion to describe baldoria? my afro centrist broder.

i have a suggestion to call you; illiterate idiot. even though you ran off to wikipedia to get the definition, you still do not get the point. one person cannot be an NGO. one person cannot be an "organisation". is that too abstruse for you to understand? my dog has that one figured out!

Going back to the most serious subject matter, it is a question of humanity. We can not deny health care to the needy, even if it is being abused.
If the border was controlled, we wouldn't have that much of a problem with Haitians exporting their sick to be taken care in DR hospitals.
Good fences make good neighbors.

Do you know the statistics of drowning persons?
Most of the persons that are drowning are in a desperate struggle to fight for heir lives at any cost.
The lifeguard jumps in to save them, but the drowning person in their desperation does not let the
lifeguard swim freely and they both drown. That is why a new rope device is used now to tie the drowning person to it and pull them away from the body of the lifeguard, so he can swim freely and rescue the person.
The Haitians are invading us en masse, they are holding on to our necks and are not letting loose, we have to carry them everywhere, eventually we will all drown together.

We need the wall now!
Muro por la vida!

This is nothing new people... I've been saying this for years now... LET THE CRUSADE BEGIN


A WAR WOULD SURELY REANIMATE THE PEOPLE! OUR INDEPENDENCE WAR WAS TOO LONG AGO AND THERE'S NO LIVING MEMORY OF THE BARBARIANS ASSAULT ON OUR PEOPLE!

you see my poor pet the way i turn you with just one post from me. let me ask you something my pet do you have tendency of being masoquist? why do you have to slap yourself in the face everytime vacanos correct you? baldoria is one of many ngo working against dr my pet dready.
