With only 12 days remaining before he hands over the presidency of the Dominican Medical Association (CMD), Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero has called for another two-day strike in the public hospitals across the country. The strike will be the eighth in the last several months and is due to go into effect on Wednesday 29 and Thursday, 30 November 2017.
