This is because, according to the doctors, some operations represent a cost ranging from 500,000 to a million pesos, depending on the patient’s trauma.
“This had to get 8,500 people operated on regardless, so it’s an expense for the state even as it consumes the nation’s budget,” said one of the hospital’s Doctor Traumatology specialists. Dario Contraras.
This is why they understand that the burden that this represents for the National Budget must be lightened, a proposal that includes motoconchisti, who account for the largest number of cases of road accidents in the country.
Previously, the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa) reported that it has invested RD $ 2,000 million in road accident victims in the past two years.

Traffic accidents still occupy the first place in causing deaths, they can produce some kind of disability according to their statistics.
“Statistics from recent years indicate similar behavior in the 20- and 49-year-old population. Between January and November 2022 alone, we received 62,198 enrollments with some type of traffic accident, 53% are 20-49 years old and within this range 42% are in the 20-29 age group. ”, indicate the administrators of the state insurance.
The big concern of insurers is that the country has a high accident rate, which tells us that road accidents occur in a younger population.
