Bautista Rojas Gomez, the Minister of Public Health, has told reporters from El Caribe newspaper that the recent start up of the Family Health Service (SFS), while marked by some glitches, is moving forward, and that the pending issues will be resolved. One issue that apparently confounded the minister was the lack of prescription pads for the health services providers. The Single Prescription forms are required in order to access SFS funds for medicines. Rojas Gomez said that there was a public announcement on 13 August that explained where to procure the prescription pads and how much they cost. The minister said that a special evaluating commission would be meeting this morning to look at the first three days of the SFS. According to the minister, one of the major problem areas is the fact that the public is not fully informed, and to alleviate this situation, the ministry has set up special information desks at all private clinics and staffed them with people who are trained to answer patients' questions.
