The Ministry of the Interior and the Police has advised the Dominican Medical Association (CMD) that their marchers will not be allowed to use the Dr. Delgado Street nor Mexico Avenue for their next protest, announced for 12 March. Nonetheless, the doctors have told reporters that they will not bend to pressure and that they will exercise their legitimate right to protest. CMD president Dr. Waldo Ariel Suero told reporters that while doctors are currently treating emergencies at the hospitals during strikes, it is possible that even these duties will be relinquished in future. Dr. Suero said that "we do not discard any action, including abandoning the hospitals..." Their plans for future protests include longer work stoppages at the hospitals, with the next strike lasting for 72 hours or even a week. On Wednesday, doctors are planning to march from the Luis Eduardo Aybar Hospital to the Presidential Palace.
