República Dominicana avanza en la implementación del modelo de organización “Hospitales del Futuro”

República Dominicana impulsa una transformación en la gestión de su red hospitalaria pública a través del modelo de organización “Hospitales del Futuro”, un programa estratégico liderado por el Servicio Nacional de Salud (SNS), con el objetivo de elevar los estándares de atención y fortalecer la administración de los principales centros sanitarios del país. La iniciativa se encuentra en fase de implementación en hospitales priorizados y representa uno de los ejes de modernización del sistema de salud dominicano.
El programa “Hospitales del Futuro” responde a la necesidad de dotar a los nosocomios de una estructura organizacional más eficiente y alineada con prácticas internacionales. El SNS ha puesto en marcha jornadas de presentación y sensibilización en centros como el Hospital de Traumatología de Azua, el Hospital de Traumatología de Higüey, el Hospital Regional Universitario San Vicente de Paúl en San Francisco de Macorís y el Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico José Joaquín Puello. De acuerdo con las autoridades el próximo centro en sumarse será el Hospital Infantil Robert Reid Cabral, ampliando el alcance de la estrategia.

El modelo se basa en el desarrollo de manuales de organización y de procesos adaptados a cada hospital. El equipo técnico del SNS lleva a cabo un levantamiento exhaustivo de información institucional, que permite identificar áreas críticas y formular planes de mejora dirigidos a fortalecer la gestión interna. La implementación de estos manuales busca estandarizar los procedimientos y establecer protocolos claros para los distintos servicios, lo que facilita la toma de decisiones.
El enfoque del programa prioriza la planificación operativa, la optimización de procesos, capacitación del personal directivo y administrativo. Uno de los principales objetivos es que los hospitales priorizados adopten herramientas de gestión modernas, como sistemas automatizados y modelos de gobernanza orientados a resultados, con el propósito de garantizar la sostenibilidad de los servicios.
En la etapa actual, el SNS avanza en la elaboración de los documentos base y en la socialización del modelo organizacional con los equipos de trabajo de los hospitales involucrados. Según la nota oficial, estas acciones permitirán que cada centro cuente con una hoja de ruta personalizada para la mejora continua, adaptada a sus necesidades y contexto.

La estrategia de “Hospitales del Futuro” también promueve la integración de buenas prácticas en áreas como la gestión de recursos humanos, la administración financiera y el manejo logístico. El objetivo es crear un entorno que facilite la adopción de tecnologías y la innovación en la gestión hospitalaria, sentando las bases para futuras fases de modernización en infraestructura y equipamiento.
Las autoridades no ha detallado aún los montos específicos de inversión destinados a su puesta en marcha, ya que el foco actual está en la reorganización institucional y en el fortalecimiento de las capacidades de gestión. De acuerdo con la Presidencia de la República Dominicana, la experiencia obtenida en los hospitales priorizados servirá de modelo para la expansión progresiva del programa a otros centros de la red pública.

“El SNS reafirma su compromiso con la transformación del sistema hospitalario, apostando por una gestión más eficiente y organizada en beneficio de los usuarios”, señala el comunicado oficial. El avance de la estrategia de “Hospitales del Futuro” marca una etapa clave en el proceso de reforma sanitaria de la República Dominicana, con la meta de consolidar hospitales mejor preparados para responder a las demandas de salud de la población y fortalecer la calidad del servicio público.

Trump’s FDA boss resigning as admin taps next acting leader

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary is resigning from his position Tuesday, a White House official told Fox News Digital.
The official said that Makary’s resignation has to do with «process at the FDA» and not a specific issue, and said there is «no bad blood» between President Donald Trump and the outgoing commissioner. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed for Makary’s resignation, according to the White House official.
Kyle Diamantis, FDA deputy commissioner for Food, will serve as acting commissioner, Fox News Digital learned.

Makary’s resignation followed mounting pressure from pro-life advocates and administration critics who had grown frustrated with his handling of several high-profile FDA decisions and claims he has slow-rolled MAHA initiatives, according to media reports in recent weeks.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the president had reportedly already signed off on a plan to fire Makary, citing three familiar sources who cited Makary’s handling of abortion and drug policy.
«I’ve been reading about it, but I know nothing about it,» Trump said the same day after he was asked by reporters if Makary would be fired.
TRUMP CABINET SHAKEUP EXPANDS AFTER NOEM EXIT, BONDI FIRING — WHO’S UNDER PRESSURE NEXT?
The resignation comes one day before Makary was set to testify in front of the Senate Appropriations Committee Wednesday.
Though Makary’s resignation is not attributable to a specific issue, according to the White House official, his tenure atop the FDA has put him at the center of fights over abortion drug mifepristone – otherwise known as the «abortion pill» – vaccine policy and drug approvals, frustrating pro-life activists and MAHA-aligned critics who argued the agency has moved too slowly to carry out Trump’s health agenda.
When Trump was elected, pro-life groups and voters were banking on the administration rolling-back Biden-era rules that allowed mifepristone to be prescribed online and shipped through the mail. But the FDA left those rules intact and last year, under Makary’s leadership, approved a new generic version of the pill.
«President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy must end this now, remove Commissioner Makary, stop the mail order abortion scheme, and pull these child-killing drugs from the market,» said Live Action president Lila Rose to Fox News Digital ahead of Makary’s resignation.

«What a mess Makary turned out to be,» a Trump administration official told Fox News Digital earlier in May, claiming the commissioners’ comments and actions have told «every pro-life advocate their concerns are an afterthought.»
«The arrogance is stunning,» they added of the FDA commissioner.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told the Wall Street Journal earlier in May that «Trump is the problem,» when it comes to the abortion issues falling off for the GOP in recent years.
And if candidates want her group’s $160 million in the midterms and 2028 presidential election, she said they must commit «to pro-life action at the national level.»

EXCLUSIVE: SPLC’s ‘far-left’ ‘anti-racism’ curriculum found in classrooms as early as kindergarten: watchdog

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: As the liberal activist organization Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faces federal fraud charges, an education watchdog warns that the group continues to integrate its «far-left content and materials» into classrooms as early as kindergarten in more than 40 states across the U.S.
Nicole Neily, president of Defending Education, which was once labeled an «extremist» group by SPLC, told Fox News Digital that «unbeknownst to parents, the Southern Poverty Law Center has been poisoning pupils’ minds around the country for years with its toxic curriculum.»
Defending Education published a new exposé detailing how an SPLC education program called «Learning for Justice» (formerly «Teaching Tolerance») has been integrated into K-12 lesson plans and materials in 169 school districts in 42 states, plus Washington, D.C. According to the watchdog, the program reinforces «far-left cultural and political ideologies,» including «anti-racism, Black Lives Matter, gender ideology and queer theory, white privilege, white supremacy, whiteness, and transgenderism.»
Neily said that due to SPLC’s integration in schools, «issues such as queer theory, white privilege, and anti-racism have supplanted traditional coursework in history, social studies, and other core classes,» which she said is «teaching children to view themselves and others through the lens of identity politics, and that America is forever stained by its original sin.»

According to Neily, the materials «intentionally sow division and mistrust between students at a formative stage of their development,» adding that «it is deeply disappointing that administrators and educators believe this is an appropriate use of finite classroom time and resources.»
The SPLC did not respond to requests for comment on Defending Education’s report.
The report reveals that SPLC’s website and documents can be found on school district webpages, in teacher professional development and trainings, classroom lessons, district-wide curricula, Social Emotional Learning, social justice standards, and district antiracism and equity policies and resources.
SPLC’s Learning for Justice program, which the report says is focused on «education for liberation,» encourages the implementation of a set of anchor standards and «age-appropriate learning outcomes» divided into the domains of identity, diversity, justice and action.
Under the action category, students are encouraged to commit to join with «diverse people to plan and carry out collective action against exclusion, prejudice and discrimination» and to be «thoughtful and creative in our actions in order to achieve our goals.»
Defending Education said the New York State Education Department added «equity revisions» to its NY Social Emotional Learning Benchmarks that aligned the benchmarks with SPLC’s social justice standards.
The report also notes that the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian lists Learning for Justice as a recommended resource in certain lesson materials. It further points to guidance and curriculum resources from the California Department of Education and Illinois State Board of Education, as well as Chicago Public Schools, that include or reference the standards.

According to the report, Learning for Justice materials are also incorporated into curriculum and lesson plans for younger students in several districts. The report cites examples, including Cambridge Public Schools in Massachusetts, integrating the Social Justice Standards into junior kindergarten through fifth-grade physical education, and Yonkers Public Schools in New York, using the standards in pre-kindergarten project-based learning units. It also points to Princeton Public Schools in New Jersey updating its early childhood curriculum using the framework.
Rhyen Staley, director of research at Defending Education, posited that the «amount of influence the SPLC’s programming and content has had on district policies, learning standards, curriculums, and lessons is a real concern for families who value a bias-free learning environment.»
«No organization that labels concerned parents as ‘extremists’ and members of ‘hate groups’ should have its biased content used in K-12 schools,» said Staley, adding that «district leaders should end the use of this organization’s materials and ideas.»
SPLC, an Alabama-based organization that describes itself as a «beacon of hope» for «fighting White supremacy,» was indicted late last month on federal fraud charges from a years-long alleged covert paid informant program that Justice Department officials said allocated millions of dollars in donations to a network of informants affiliated with or closely tied to White supremacist and neo-Nazi groups.
The 11-count indictment accuses the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank and conspiracy to commit concealed money laundering. According to the Justice Department, the SPLC sent some $3 million to its paid informants between 2014 and 2023, including people affiliated with the United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America and the Aryan Nations-linked Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, among others.

SPLC has denied all allegations of wrongdoing, with a spokesperson defending its work monitoring White supremacist groups and other violent extremist organizations — including via the paid informant program — telling Fox News Digital that their use has «saved lives.»
