A report from the Comptroller's Office revealed the double appointment of a doctor from the Minsa, and the collection of per diem, vacations and extra shifts without corresponding.
The Attorney General's Office asked the Court of Accounts to call a trial for six people for a possible patrimonial injury to the State for more than $91,000, through the Ministry of Health of Panama (
Minsa ).
The request made this October 11, arises after an audit report of the Comptroller General of the Republic, in the period between January 1, 2013 and July 31, 2017, revealed the double appointment of a doctor in two health institutions belonging to the
Minsa, as well as other irregularities such as the collection of per diem, vacations, transportation, extra shifts without corresponding, and unexcused absences in more than 600 days.
The Attorney General's Office dismissed the charges for four other people, after reaching payment agreements. Among those linked is a former Minister of Health and the former head of Human Resources at the Ministry of Health.
