Ministry of Health officials in Trinidad and Tobago were early this week trying to identify specialist doctors who could assist in keeping the nation's hospitals afloat. The threat of a shutdown by senior doctors at State-run health institutions loomed.
The move came as senior doctors at the institutions kept their two-week-old threat to withhold their overtime labour after 4 p.m., on weekends and public holidays.
Their decision was the result of failure, after several months of negotiations with government to get a new pay package for specialist doctors.
