Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez says public hospital doctors will have to wait to get their much debated pay raise in 2010, because the government doesn't have enough money at the moment. The physicians had asked the Cardinal to mediate with the government on their behalf.
The Cardinal says President Leonel Fernandez told him the government plans to raise doctors' wages, but not until 2010. Public hospital doctors have been protesting for more than a year to get an increase on their base salaries of RD$23,000 per month.
As part of a new series of protests doctors have gone on a three-day strike, but according to new information the doctors have decided to extend their strike for an extra five days.
