The Dominican people urgently need to know: Where are the priorities of Luis Abinader’s government?

This question arises as a tender process for RD$1,450 million (approx. $25 million USD) in advertising is announced. Meanwhile, the medical and administrative staff of the Salvador B. Gautier Hospital protested this Thursday morning against the piles of garbage, filth, and overwhelming infestation of rats and other pests plaguing the healthcare center.

The situation is so dire that two directors have already resigned due to the severe lack of staff and the chaotic conditions that prevail in a facility meant to provide a certain standard of healthcare.

This crisis is attributed to a critically undersized cleaning crew that is completely incapable of maintaining basic hygiene and sanitation in the medical center.
