Haiti - Health : Haitian ambulances bring parturient women to give birth in the DR
Ambulances carrying pregnant Haitian women arrive daily in the Dominican Republic from Haiti to give birth in various border hospitals, mainly the hospital of the municipality of Restauración (province of Dajabón)

The arrival of ambulances from the Haitian health system is a constant and so far this year, of the 80 women who have given birth at Restauración Hospital, 68 are Haitians in an irregular migration situation, according to medical personnel sources. These heavy medical assistances considerably affect the budget of this hospital allocated by the "National Health Service" (SNS). In addition, the Restauración public hospital has barely four general practitioners, a gynecologist and a few nurses. This flow of Haitian women results in a surplus of work for these staff who say they are exhausted.

On numerous occasions, these pregnant women arrive accompanied by Haitian medical personnel who, after leaving them at the Dominican hospital, leave the country.

These women generally come from Tiroly, a community in Haiti where most basic services are non-existent to take care of just over a thousand families, about twenty kilometers from Restauración. Sometimes due to the serious condition in which these women arrive, they have to be transferred to the provinces of Dajabón, Valderde and Santiago.

A situation that raises questions in the population of Restauración, as to the ease with which these ambulances arrive in Dominican territory, because before entering the municipality of Restauración, the ambulances must pass two or three military checks on the international highway...

Let's recall that in the report of births of Haitian mothers between January and May 2023, maternities notified 14,745 deliveries to the SNS, or 33.6% of the total of all births within the public network (at 43,914 births), an average more than 3,000 births of illegal Haitians per month.
