Public hospital doctors and nurses are back at work, after a long two week work stoppage. They accepted sitting in for talks with the government, with the mediation of Monsignor Agripino Nunez.
Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero, president of the Dominican Medical College, that groups public hospital doctors, said they expect a wage increase and the reinstatement of 5 doctors and 2 nurses that were cancelled after an aggression against the director of the Francisco Moscoso Puello Hospital.
The medics and government health authorities will be meeting at the PUCMM campus at 10am today. The public hospital doctors will have Dr. Jose Joaquin Puello and Dr. Cesar Mella as their spokesmen, said the president of the CMD. Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero says they expect to come up with a document to present to President Leonel Fernandez that establishes a salary increase for the beginning of next year. Suero's term as president of the CMD ends in December.
