Public Health Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez says that any salary wage awarded to doctors will only happen once the government's contractual structure with the doctors is reviewed. The ministry insists that wage increases be pegged to individual performance at specific jobs in public hospitals. Public hospital doctors have been engaged in an ongoing struggle with the government for higher wages and other benefits. Bautista said that the Health Ministry's technical team has met to discuss its plans for the next four years. Bautista, however, didn't dismiss the fact that there could be a wage increase for the doctors in the near future. The minister, quoted in El Caribe, seemed optimistic and showed willingness to resume negotiations with representatives of the Dominican Medical Association (CMD).
