Santo Domingo. – In a joint effort to promote excellence in paediatric care in the region, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and Médico Express have signed a significant clinical and protocol cooperation agreement. This partnership, led by Dr. Alejandro Cambiaso, Executive President of Médico Express, and Dr. Andrea Maggioni, Medical Director of Global Health at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, aims to share expertise, resources and innovative approaches to ensure that children in Santo Domingo receive the highest standard of medical care.

“This agreement reinforces our commitment to and leadership in the continuous improvement of paediatric care and collaboration among health professionals. Through its Global Health department, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital is committed to the Dominican Republic as a strategic and important market for the development and advancement of paediatric medicine. We believe that by joining forces with Médico Express, we will make a positive impact on the lives of many children and their families in Santo Domingo,” said Joan Luna, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s representative in the Dominican Republic.
