"Healthcare and health insurance in Santo Domingo, can be considered expensive for some individuals, particularly those with low incomes. The cost of healthcare services and insurance premiums may vary depending on the type of coverage, medical facility, and the specific medical needs of an individual. While public healthcare is available, it is often overcrowded and underfunded, leading many people to seek private healthcare options. Private healthcare facilities tend to offer better quality services but at a higher cost. Additionally, expatriates and tourists often opt for international health insurance plans, which can also be quite expensive.
