Dominican Republic: Amnesty International Debunks Myth of Haitians “Overwhelming” Healthcare System

A new report by Amnesty International, published on Monday, November 17, 2025, challenges one of the pillars of Dominican political discourse in recent years: the idea that Haitian migrants are overwhelming public hospitals in the Dominican Republic. Entitled "Health without stigma: The Impact of Migration Policies on the Right to Health in the Dominican Republic," the document provides a series of official data and statistical analyses that contradict the arguments put forward by the government of President Luis Abinader.
