Once again the Dominican Medical Association (CMD) has convened another two-day labor stoppage in the nation\u2019s public hospitals, according to statements issued by Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero, the CMD president. If this work stoppage occurs, it will be the fifth strike called by the public hospital doctors so far this year.<\/p>\n

Suero told reporters from the Diario Libre,: \u201cWe are calling in the firmest possible way for a national 48-hour strike beginning on Thursday, 2 November 2017 at all the nation\u2019s hospitals including the IDSS as well as the units belonging to the National Health Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

The doctors allege that they have no other alternative except such protests given the refusal to talk on the part of government officials on the one hand and the failure to comply with agreements reached by the CMD with the government on the other. During the strike days, emergencies are attended to as well as those patients in serious medical condition. Authorities are saying that they will take up the negotiations once again after the CMD elections next Wednesday, 8 November 2017.<\/p>\n

The CMD has objected two candidacies for the CMD presidency on grounds that the pre-candidates \u2013 Clemente Terrero and Amarilis Herrera — are government officers. Terrero had resigned his position as second in charge at the Roberto Reid Cabral Hospital, but does not meet the one year requirement. Herrera is director of the National Lottery Primary Care Center.<\/p>\n
