During a press conference, the president of the Dominican Anesthesiology Society, Dr. Dalma de la Rosa together with Dr. Carlos Marmolejos and members of the executive committee warned yesterday, Tuesday 15 May, that from 14 June they will require a minimum of 2,500 pesos for each surgery they attend and will not carry out any procedure for less.
They said that they were working on a new list of charges which will be presented to the Administrators of Heath Risks (ARS) who will then establish the charges for different procedures.
Marmolejos said that the anesthetist was the first in the operating theatre and the last to leave and that their charges should not depend on those of the surgeon but should be independent.
De la Rosa said that there were around 400 anesthetists and condemned the fact that there were still clinics and hospitals in the country that worked with anesthetic technicians and not with specialists. She said there was no need to use technicians as there were sufficient qualified anesthetists including those who did not have a job.
