The Dominican Medical Association (CMD), the National Association of Hospitals and Clinics (ANDECLIP) and the National Laboratories Association (ANDELAB) have threatened to break off talks with the government about the state health care plan, SFS, claiming that the government has broken Law 8701. This latest threat has put the SFS in further jeopardy.
