Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero, whose name is synonymous with doctors' strikes, is ending his term as president of the Dominican Medical Association (CMD). He called the strikes seeking to pressure the government for over-the-board wage increases for public hospital physicians. Elections for his successor are being held today, with Senen Caba facing Enriquillo Matos. The election is highly politicized. It is said that Caba has the support of the PRD and PRSC and that Matos is backed by the PLD. Matos is a former president of the CMD (2005-2007). More than 12,000 doctors can vote.
