CMD strike ends

[NewsWhore]

The Dominican Medical Association (CMD) ended its two-day national strike today, without much fanfare or national media coverage. Though the strikes have yielded no tangible results for the association that is made up of public hospital doctors, CMD president Waldo Ariel Suero believes there should be more strikes. Hoy quotes reports from the Health Ministry as saying that services at public hospitals across the country went on as normal, with military physicians filling in for the regular staff. The ministry said that the number of patients and operations reported on Thursday was even double those carried out on Wednesday, the first day of the strike. The CMD has been fighting for a wage increase of more than RD$30,000 and other benefits.
