The Dominican Republic is rapidly gaining recognition as a leading destination for medical tourism, thanks to its world-class healthcare facilities, internationally accredited hospitals, and bilingual medical professionals. Treatment costs in the country are 40–60% lower than in the United States, making it an attractive option for international patients. Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso, president of the Dominican Association of Medical Tourism (ADTS), attributes this success to the nation’s robust flight connectivity, year-round tropical climate, and renowned hospitality, which collectively enhance its appeal.
