A special commission created to study whether or not five public hospital doctors and two nurses be reinstated after their participation in an attack against the director of the Francisco Moscoso Puello Hospital says it is recommending that the doctors be sanctioned, but that the hospital's director also be sanctioned and moved to another hospital.
Hoy reports that Lafontaine had retaliated against one of his attackers, punching him in the stomach. The doctor who was responsible for hitting Lafontaine apologized and will be moved to another hospital and not be paid for three months. The doctors were fired after the attack on Lafontaine.
The commission was created after Waldo Ariel Suero, president of the Dominican Medical College (CMD) refused to discuss any other issues that would avert the ongoing series of doctor strikes until the Ministry of Public Health reinstated the fired doctors and nurses.
Hoy reports that the commission's recommendations are not yet official and that a final decision will be made by Minister of Public Health Bautista Rojas Gomez. The report indicates that the sanctions are part of efforts to ensure that an incident like this one doesn't repeat itself in a public hospital.
During a meeting yesterday between representatives of the Dominican Medical College (CMD) and the Ministry of Public Health, it was decided that a second commission be created to help develop schemes to raise physician and nurses pay and resolve other demands by the nation's doctors.
