Dr. Julio Rodríguez Grullón, director of the Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital, said that his centre has 17 child patients as well as 20 outpatients with the disease.
Precisó que en el área de Pediatría no hay dónde colocar a los niños que llegan con dengue, no solamente del Distrito Nacional y la provincia Santo Domingo, si no de todo el país.
He said that in the pediatric wards they don't know where to put the children arriving with dengue, not just in the National District and Santo Domingo province, but all over the country.If dengue is this bad in the Dominican Republic, it must be at least as bad in Haiti. But I've heard nothing about cases there.
