Dominican Republic CNSS Approves 100% Coverage for 13 High-Cost Medicines via Fomac

The Dominican Republic's National Council of Social Security (CNSS) unanimously approved Resolution No. 645-16, providing 100% coverage for 13 high-cost medicines through the High-Cost Medicines Fund (Fomac), targeting 16 catastrophic illnesses including breast and lung cancer. This policy shift expands access to critical treatments and reduces out-of-pocket costs for affected families, though implementation details and funding sustainability remain to be seen.
