Dominican Doctors Launch Podcast to Tackle Health Myths

Dominican Republic: New Podcast "Código Salud" Tackles Health Myths Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – A new podcast, "Código Salud," is set to address common health questions and concerns in the Dominican Republic. The podcast, a collaboration between pulmonologist Dr. Emil Jorge Manzur and oncologist Omaira Reyes Almonte, was recently featured on the popular television program #MásQueNoticias. "Código Salud was an idea that came to us a few months ago," explained Dr. Manzur in the interview. "We wanted to bring people the questions they commonly have, questions that no one dares to ask." The podcast, airing weekly on CDN 37's YouTube channel, will tackle a range of topics, with the first episode focusing on sleep apnea. Reyes Almonte highlighted the importance of addressing this often-overlooked issue, stating, "It's very typical for people to say, 'I sleep, but I don't rest.' This is often related to sleep apnea." The hosts emphasized the podcast's goal of providing clear and accessible information to the public, helping to dispel myths and misconceptions about health. The show's popularity, with 313 views in less than seven hours, reflects the public's interest in such an initiative.
