Survivor Injury Fallout: “Survivor Greece” has been suspended after contestant Stavros Floros was seriously hurt during spearfishing off Saona Island in the Dominican Republic—reports say a tourist boat propeller partially amputated his left leg below the knee and badly injured his right ankle; AcunMedya says he’s hospitalized in “serious but stable” condition and authorities are investigating. Public Health Spotlight: The Dominican Republic will preside over the 79th World Health Assembly for the first time, with Health Minister Víctor Atallah leading talks in Geneva on priorities including health systems, equity, emergencies, mental health, and obesity prevention. Hospital System Overhaul: The National Health Service (SNS) ordered public hospitals to remove equipment tied to private “comodato” contracts, aiming to boost transparency and central control. Tourism Pressure Warning: In La Altagracia, Senator Rafael Barón Duluc says tourism growth is “punishing” the province—pushing for a special census to fix gaps in education, transport, and basic services. Air Travel Shift: DR’s aviation regulator says Spirit’s exit will have only a “moderate” impact on low-cost routes, with other airlines expected to absorb demand.
