The Dominican Medical Association (CMD) and other public health sector unions have once again called for a national 72-hour strike at all the country’s public hospitals and the Dominican Institute of Social Security (IDSS) hospitals as of today, Tuesday 8 March 2016. <\/p>\n
According to CMD president Waldo Ariel Suero, they were hoping that President Danilo Medina would decide to sit down and talk to them, either face-to-face or via a concrete proposal by the Health Ministry.<\/p>\n
