The Dominican Republic’s Ministry of Public Health, in partnership with national and international entities, is making significant strides to designate Las Américas International Airport (AILA–Dr. José Francisco Peña Gómez) as an official Health Point of Entry under the International Health Regulations (IHR-2005). This initiative aims to equip the airport with essential protocols, advanced equipment, and trained personnel to effectively address public health emergencies, including disease outbreaks and other health threats affecting travelers and local residents.
