Dominican - Health Information

In this country, on the subject of health we refer to the Taínos, who left evidence that they settled in this island – that they also called bohio – because they found no hostility from nature, and the mild climate invited them to stay. 

As a current source, we shall mention the conclusions reached through research carried out by technical commissions and the World Health Organization, which have not changed much from the past century to this day. Most emphasize repeatedly that: “The average term of public health and life expectancy is equal, if not better, than that obtained as a whole in the United States. 

“In all circumstances, and judiciously choosing the locality, it is possible to enjoy a delightful climate where one rarely encounters either lung diseases, scarlet fever, or other feared diseases of the northern countries and without risk of yellow fever”.
