Decree No. 309-07 establishes a Regulation of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SINAVE), a document that orders public and private establishments to provide epidemiological data when required.
Also, there are complementary ministerial resolutions, which establish mandatory diseases for SINAVE.
The standards are scattered because they depend on the organizational unit that collects the information. There are manuals for collecting and disseminating vital statistics. However, this does not mean that they are the only ones, since this requires an uprising with the areas that are producing statistics in the ministry.
In the weekly reports of epidemiological surveillance at the end of the document, indicators of performance of the early warning system are presented. They present the quantities of reporting units by province and health area, the proportion reported, and the proportion reported on time.
The EPI-II form includes the data processed in the SINAVE modules and allows the disaggregation of events reported by gender.
The MSP generates Health Accounts figures, which are used to feed the WHO portal and the Social Indicators System of the Dominican Republic (SISDOM).

Study will be published soon. In addition, exercises for the Measurement of Spending on AIDS (MEGAS) have been developed. The last one was published in 2014.
