The Dominican Program of Otoplasty has the objective of changing the lives of children in the Dominican Republic who have prominent ears or ears in the handle (dumbo type); who from an early age due to their condition; a malformation in simple appearance, are the object of ridicule of other children, which produces an emotional trauma that makes the infants complex and that can produce psychological sequels in childhood, adolescence and beyond adulthood.
Initiated by Dr. Franklin Peña Romero and sponsored by different public and private institutions, this program has changed the lives of dozens of children from all over the Dominican Republic. It is carried out at the Family Medicine Clinic, in San Pedro de Macorís, at Av. Mauricio Báez 159.
In order to offer an accessible treatment to Dominican children with prominent ears, all children from 7 to 10 years old are operated free of charge. Clinical expenses, anesthesia, expendable materials, medications, bandages, etc. they are covered by the Program.
