World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported53m ago
On Tuesday, public hospital services in the Dominican Republic were paralyzed due to a 24-hour work stoppage ordered by the Colegio Médico Dominicano (CMD). The strike resulted in the suspension of medical consultations and other healthcare services, affecting patients seeking assistance across various regions, including the Greater Santo Domingo area and Barahona.
The strike was initiated by Dominican physicians to demand specific labor improvements from authorities. Key grievances include requests for the payment of seniority incentives for medical personnel with more than 15 years of service, as well as demands for enhanced security measures within healthcare centers. The sudden cessation of services left thousands of patients without medical attention.
