Centro doctor Guadalupe (CMG)

Centro doctor Guadalupe (CMG) is a private hospital in Moca, Dominican Republic. Dr. Antonio Francisco Rojas Badía and Dr. Carlos María Rojas Badía founded it in March 1946. It now runs from a single specialized building with four main clinical departments.

Legacy and Medical Capacity

The clinic has a long history of surgery in Espaillat province. Its medical records show the first operation, an appendectomy, took place in 1946. Within five years of opening, the surgical team had completed 482 major interventions. Today, the hospital has a medical staff of 88 doctors across various specialties.

CMG has a partnership with the Universidad Tecnológica de Santiago. This agreement supports clinical practice and medical education. Alongside 24/7 emergency care, the hospital runs specialized units for long-term treatment and critical care.

Specialized Medical Units

The Hemodialysis Unit opened recently and focuses on chronic kidney care. Its setup is built around patient safety and comfort during treatment:

• 6 modern hemodialysis machines
• Dedicated resuscitation unit for emergencies
• Integrated sterilization system
• Private nursing station for continuous monitoring
• Comfortable waiting area for family members

The surgical block has 4 operating rooms set up for different medical needs. Surgeons perform gynecology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, and general surgery here. Patients prepare for surgery and recover afterward in dedicated areas within the block.

A renovated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) handles critical care. It has 7 beds for adults in critical condition. For newborns, the hospital has 3 neonatal ICU incubators and 2 more incubators in the receiving area.

Pediatric and Neonatal Care

Several specialists focus on care for children. Pediatric cardiologists offer fetal echocardiography, which checks the baby's heart before birth. Perinatology and neonatology experts look after newborns, including premature babies.

The pediatric department also offers nutrition and maternal support. This includes a nutrition clinic and counseling for breastfeeding mothers. That way, both child and parent get support during early development.

Diagnostic Equipment and Technology

The Diagnostic Imaging Department works 24/7 to support the emergency and surgical units. For high-resolution breast cancer screening, specialists use mammography with tomosynthesis. Tomosynthesis creates a 3D image of the breast, so doctors can spot smaller tumors.

Available diagnostic technologies include:

• MRI for abdominal cavity scans with contrast agents
• CT scans for skull and paranasal sinus imaging
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for detailed eye exams
• Doppler sonography for duplex angioscanning of blood vessels
• C-arm imaging for real-time X-rays during surgery

A full clinical laboratory runs biochemical blood analysis, coagulograms, and urine analysis. These tests help doctors diagnose outpatients and emergency patients quickly.

Patient Accommodations

Inpatients can stay in Premium rooms built for extra comfort. These private rooms allow more personal service during recovery. Since the Emergency Unit runs 24/7, patients can get diagnostic imaging and laboratory tests at any hour.
