The Dominican Medical Association (CMD) has said that many Cubans are practicing medicine without a license. Dr. Enriquillo Matos, the CDM president, said that dozens of people are doing this. He also pointed out that the province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez was a focal point of his observations. The medical board cited eight Cubans by name and also named the medical centers where these doctors are working. Dr. Rafael Chalas, the CMD provincial director, said that "any foreign doctor can practice", which is very difficult for Dominican doctors to do in other countries. Both doctors pointed out that in order for a medical doctor to practice in the Dominican Republic, one must first be a member of the CMD and certify all their qualifications with the UASD and the Ministry of Higher Education. They asked for Public Health officials to act in the case. Cubans working at the Centro Medico Espaillat-Ubiera in Nagua were cited, as were doctors working at the Centro Medico Costa Norte and the Centro Medico Diagnostico-Terapeutico.
