Monday´s 12-hour service stoppage calls for the Health Risk Management Agency (ARS) to increase fees and rates paid by the Dominican Social Security System.

Caba stated that the doctors previously assisted with emergencies and critical patients in Mao centers, Santiago Rodriguez, and Dajabon, among other areas.

The CMD and the specialized medical societies put public network hospitals and private clinics out of service to resume their fight against ARS after four months of unsuccessful talks with health authorities.
