Santo Domingo.- The Medellín Health City Cluster has expressed interest in establishing partnerships with Dominican health sector organizations and leaders, aiming to enhance medical tourism between both countries. Currently, around 4% of the 11 million tourists visiting the Dominican Republic seek medical services.

Cluster manager Mónica Sánchez noted that the alliance would promote mutual benefits, including knowledge exchange, shared best practices between health centers, and improved patient care. She highlighted the Dominican Republic’s well-trained medical professionals and visionary leadership as strengths for forming a successful collaboration.

Sánchez emphasized Medellín’s capacity to contribute with its high-complexity health centers and praised the Dominican Association of Health and Wellness Tourism (ADTS), under Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso, for its role in positioning the country as a leader in medical tourism.
