Santo Domingo.- Anti-riot Police fired tear gas canisters at the Public Health Ministry’s branch offices in downtown Santo Domingo Wednesday morning, to force the doctors and nurses who occupied it since yesterday, to demand a wage increase and other grievances.
Police agents have cordoned off the Metropolitan Nucleus Zero Health Service, located at Doctor Delgado street, adjacent to the National Palace.
Dominican Medical Association (CMD) president Waldo Ariel Suero said by telephone, since the journalists were barred entry, that the situation of the occupants is critical. He said the gases have irritated their eyes and other parts of their bodies.
Suero has led the CMD members in numerous and as yet unsuccessful protests for a pay raise, and have been the target tear gas.

Arrests and beatings of journalist and denial of constitutional rights to honorable doctors and nurses fighting for a living wage!
So there is a constitutional right in the DR to Trespass, Threaten and Vandalize?
These "Doctors" are criminals! They should be treated as such.
Fronteras is not a priority too like it was during Trujillo and Balaguer. minimal national debt is not a priority too to the contrary all these borrowing from IMF reminds me of the early 80's PRD prestamos. We can go on forever.
That is why I keep reminding people here that our once strong peso used to be in par with the US Dollar and the gas used to cost 39cent when Balaguer was president. Then our lefty opposition took over and all hell broke loose.
Do not confuse these doctors with the CRIMNAL BATISTIANOS on calle ocho!"
is that the best you can do?
I show the world how wrong you are and that is the best line you can come up with?
Go back and defend the indefensible. Go defend murderers. Go Defend criminals. Go defend losers who have a medical degree and care more about getting paid for not working than for their patients.
we got that here in the good old USA!!!!!!!
The peso was par with the Dollar when Bosch was in power as well,
Doctors have a right to strike but morally they don't
Doctors don't have the right to violently trespass public or private property. That makes them criminals
Doctors fighting for a living wage are now "murders and criminals." Those fumes at the NASCAR events have finally done away with the minimal brain cells you had, if in fact you ever had any to begin with!
