Health Travel
The Dominican Republic is the top destination in the Caribbean for health travel, also known as medical tourism. Here you can find information to start your health-related journey.
Overview
Each year thousands of people travel to the Dominican Republic for treatment. In fact, the country is ranked 5th as a medical travel destination because of their quality and cost-effective services and the warmth of their health professionals.
Several big hospitals have pursued international accreditation and hold specialized international departments responsible for providing services to medical tourists; which include booking, translation services, airport pick-up/drop-off, and help with accommodations.
Main reasons why international patients seek medical and wellness treatments in the Dominican Republic include: Proximity and close ties with the United States and Canada. Citizens of the United States, Canada and most European countries do not require visas. There are numerous air links with all parts of the world, particularly in North and South America and Europe. Health centers accredited with first-order specialists. Immediate care without waiting lists. Good road infrastructure and satellite communications. Favorable climate all year round and sun and beach tourism, ideal for rest and recovery. Friendliness, warmth and hospitality of the Dominican staff, with respect for privacy. Economic stability and security.

Popular concerns
Hair loss
Whether it's strands of hair clogging up your hairbrush or pattern baldness, we all experience hair loss to some extent, and it can have knock-on effects on your confidence and emotional wellbeing.
Belly fat
Exercise and a healthy diet will help reduce fat all over your body, but you may still have pockets of resistant fat on your belly or flanks. When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, body contouring procedures can help.
Joint Pain
Joint pain can be caused by injury affecting any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons surrounding the joint. Injury can also affect the ligaments, cartilage, and bones within the joint.
Popular procedures
Veneers
Veneers are a lasting, affordable, and quick cosmetic fix for imperfections in your teeth that prevent you from having the smile you have always wanted. They are a popular choice for those with chipped teeth, a gap between teeth, or misshaped teeth.
Tummy Tuck
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty can restore the appearance of a flatter and firmer abdomen. This surgery flattens the abdomen by removing extra fat and skin by restoring weakened or separated muscles in your abdominal wall, creating a smoother profile.
Botox
Do you have frown lines or ‘scary lines’ that make you look angry, older, or worried all the time, even when you are not? That’s where Botox comes in as a solution without downtime, and without going under the knife.
