TB on the decline
The Dominican Republic and Haiti have succeeded, by means of several joint programs of prevention and control, to reduce the incidence of tuberculosis by 45 to 60 for each 100,000 inhabitants. The announcement was made during a meeting between the health authorities of both nations, who also presented the results of the 2016-2018 plan as well as a proposal for the 2019-2021 plan, with the aim of eradicating the disease by 2030.
According to Dominican Health Minister Dr. Rafael Sánchez Cárdenas they had achieved the reduction in the incidence of the disease, specifically by targeting those high-risk groups but more needed to be done to improve the health services especially those of primary care. Tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease brought on by a bacteria that causes the death of around 4,500 people daily across the world.
According to the WHO, some 1.6 million people have died of the disease this past year. The most vulnerable groups in the Dominican Republic are Haitian immigrants, those in jail, those in extreme poverty and those with HIV/AIDS.

Strike called throughout the Cibao
The Cibao region was affected on Monday, 29 October 2018, by a regional strike, that the Police say was marked by vandalism at its start to intimidate businesses and people. The methods used resulted in the call to strike being a failure, as observed by Diario Libre in an editorial on 30 October.
The Police announced there was one person dead and more than 40 arrests. The 24-hour strike was called by several organizations headed by the Collective of Popular Organizations, Social, Union, Transport, Community and Professional Organizations (Falpo) supposedly to protest against the high cost of fuel and basic products, electricity cuts, lack of water, poor state of the roads and other issues.
Members of the military and police were placed in strategic points in the 14 provinces making up the Cibao including throughout Santiago to ensure safety. Nevertheless, one person was killed in the early hours of the morning, a Haitian citizen, who was shot by the police while he was burning tires in Los Tocones. The media reported that in Santiago there were few vehicles on the road and many businesses were closed due to the 24-hour strike.
Some shops and banks remained open but there were few clients as most workers and students could not get to work or school due to the scarce public transport. Omsa bus service was running throughout the strike with 50 units in service. The minibus terminal for transport connecting Santiago to the Northwest, La Vega, San Francisco de Macoris and beyond in the Cibao were all closed.
The media reported there were demonstrations and garbage thrown into the streets in Alto de Yaguita de Pastor, Alto de Elías, Loma de la Tayota in the southwest of Santiago and also in Ciruelitos, in the north of the city. In Monseñor Nouel province transport was blocked from entering the municipality of Maimon with burning tires on the roads.

No transport in Puerto Plata
In Puerto Plata, due to the 24-hour strike, there was no public transport at all and the roads were empty. Dozens of workers were stranded waiting for their transport to work but there were only private vehicles on the road, in addition to a large quantity of military with rifles and police officers with shotguns in strategic locations. The schools were however open although many parents opted not to send their children to school. Tires were burning on the Montellano-Sosua road in Los Charamicos but they were taken away by police agents.

Two injured during strike in Bonao
Two people were injured in Bonao during the strike, including 28 year old Miguel Virgilio Martínez, who was shot, allegedly by the police. The police, however, maintain that Martinez was shot by another protester. Colonel Claudio José Poché, head of the regional command Cibao South, based in Bonao, said that those who carried out the shooting, who he claimed were the protesters themselves, would be arrested but the Populist organizations, represented by Doctor Pablo Abad said it was the police who injured one of the two men.

Aerodom increases charges on the quiet
The Airports Agency (Departamento Aeroportuario) has begun an investigation into an increase of 17% in the charge in dollars for passenger services imposed by Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom), according to Marino Collante, director of the agency. The increase was applied to cargo coming through the airport that now costs US$38.20 per passenger, which is US$5.60 more than the previous US$32.60.
Several airline executives said that they were concerned as the increase would have to be passed onto the passengers and the Dominican Republic already was one of the most expensive countries in terms of airport charges on the continent.

Confusion as to open primaries
Secretary of the Dominican Liberation Party (PLD), the ruling political party, Miriam Cabral, has clarified that in the open primaries, all of those in the Central Electoral Court (JCE) voting register would have the right to vote. She dismissed the claims of ex-president Leonel Fernandez who said that only PLD members would vote, along with new voters.
Cabral explained that during the week the members of the PLD commission who discussed the issue would take a letter to the JCE confirming that they would use the total voting register and not the register of PLD members only.
