HOMS not only takes care of the Dominicans' health but also allows foreigners to have the opportunity to receive high quality health care at low prices in what is called "health tourism". HOMS has an investment of $75.0 million US dollars. HOMS will be looking for international hospital accreditation. HOMS construction began in the year 2000. The original founders, shareholders and promoters of HOMS are: Dr.Rafael Sánchez Español, a very well recognized medical doctor in Santiago; Dr. José Hazim Frappier, former Senator of San Pedro de Macorís who is currently Chancellor of Universidad Central del Este (UCE) in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic; Sonia Lizardo - Dillon, Ph.D, a graduate from University of Pittsburgh, and Eduardo Estrella, Civil Engineer who created the hospital's Structural design. http://www.gafid.com/homsfacts.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospital_Metropolitano_de_Santiago
