Medical equipment scam

[NewsWhore]

The dean of Unibe Medical School and president of the board of the Plaza de la Salud General Hospital is calling for an audit of past purchases by the government of medical equipment for public health hospitals. As reported in Hoy newspaper, Julio Amado Castanos Guzman said that the audit should investigate the purchases, the criteria used to make these and should establish responsibilities. "We are opening a box of Pandora that should give a lesson and example in the struggle against administrative corruption," said Castanos. He said it is unfortunate to observe how government officers secure government funds for the purchase of equipment and construction of hospitals with the sole intention of benefiting from commissions. He commented that this has become "a habit." Newspaper reports have recently covered the existence of equipment cemeteries.
