Doctors in the Dominican Republic staged a 24-hour national strike on Tuesday, October 12, demanding improved working conditions, better incentives, and enhanced security in public hospitals. The Medical College of the Dominican Republic (CMD) confirmed the strike, which affected external consultations and elective surgeries, while emergency services and critical care remained operational. Doctors are seeking better seniority and on-call shift incentives, inclusion of doctors in Samaná and Santiago Rodríguez in distance incentives, and improved hospital security. They also raised concerns about the lack of personnel, unemployment among doctors, and pending files.
