SANTO DOMINGO. The authorities of the Dominican Medical College (CMD) called off a national work stoppage for today and tomorrow in the country's public hospitals, after reaching an agreement with the authorities of the Health Science Faculty at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD).
The agreement consists in the payment of the RD$6000 peso registration fee for the medical residents to be deducted at RD$500 increments each month through payroll deductions and will cover back to 2013.
In relation to the rough draft of the thesis, they agreed to two payments of RD$4000 and that the second and third year residents should be charged the amount of RD$10,000 in three payments.
During the morning, the director general of High Level Human Resource Training, Jorge Marte Baez, called the strike call unfair, because it would affect the poorest of the country.
He reported that the Ministry of Public Health carried out the process in order for the medical residents to have the RD$500 discounted each month from their pay in order to comply with their responsibilities with the UASD which guarantees their medical residents.
Last week, the President of the CMD, Pedro Sing, made a proposal to divide the amount of the registration fee and the rough draft of the thesis into monthly payments, but the Dean of the faculty, Wilson Mejia, rejected it.
The call issued to the doctors for a general work stoppage was rejected by society, because it was considered that a individual problem between a university and the doctors in training should not affect the patients.
As part of strategy that the Ministry used to persuade the CMD to postpone their strike, was their commitment to strengthen the training programs of the medical residents and prioritize the rotation overseas among those who qualify.
Marte Baez said that if the disproportionate increase ordered by the UASD was a surprise, even more surprising was the call by the CMD and which was canceled.
