The Ministry of Public Health has agreed to reinstate three of the resident public hospital doctors and two of the nurses who had been fired after an attack on the director of the Francisco Moscoso Puello hospital. The Ministry, however, has not reinstated Dr. Senen Caba or Dr. Juan Suero. It is a minor victory for the striking doctors, considering the Ministry did not want to reinstate any of them. The CMD and the Ministry of Public Health dispute the schemes for raising wages to public hospital staff.
However, the Dominican Medical Association (CMD) is not happy with the decision and says that it is matter of politics since Caba seeks to run for the presidency of the CMD. The news was announced by mediator Monsignor Agripino Nunez Collado. The commission that had recommended the reinstatement of the residents also recommended the removal of Roberto Lafontaine, who had punched one of his assailants in the stomach.
Nunez Collado, and the CMD, are asking the Ministry to reconsider its decision and sanction the doctors instead of firing them. The issue of the fired medics has delayed the start of wage increase talks.
