In 2025, the Espaillat Cabral Institute proudly celebrates its 55th anniversary, consolidating its position as a benchmark in eye care not only in the Dominican Republic but also in the region.
Since its founding in 1970 by Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat Cabral, the institute was born with the mission of offering specialized, quality ophthalmology services, becoming the first clinic in the country dedicated exclusively to eye care.
"Our mission is to continue caring for our patients' vision at every stage of their lives, integrating medical expertise, technological innovation, and the personalized care that has always been our essence."

All of this has been possible thanks to a highly qualified medical team and a technical and administrative staff committed to providing personal and caring care.
"The 55th anniversary of our founding is a source of pride for our history, but also a commitment to the future," says Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat, Medical Director.
"Our mission is to continue caring for our patients' vision at every stage of their lives, combining experience, technological innovation, and personalized care," he adds.
The Espaillat Cabral Institute has also been a pioneer in international accreditation, being the first in the country certified by the ACHC of the United States, which guarantees the highest standards of quality and safety.
In addition, it promotes medical tourism, scientific research, specialist training programs, blindness prevention, and social projects, always ensuring accessible and trustworthy service.
