Public Health Minister Bautista Rojas Gomez told El Caribe that the government is conditioning pay increases to public hospital doctors to productivity.
The government seeks to enforce Law 87-01 and 42-01 on public health and the Ministry's Ruling on Human Resources that rules compensation and calls for the signing of work contracts. The work contracts establish a base salary and incentives based on individual productivity.
He said the impasse with the Dominican Medical College (CMD) union that groups public hospital physicians is because the CMD continues to demand general wage increases.
He said the physicians downplay their request for responsibility, productivity and fulfillment of work hours.
He complains that physicians want to get paid full time wages at public hospitals, but at the same time work full time schedules in private consultation services.
