The Hospital Owners Syndicate explained that “the major companies that sell dialysis supplies tend to ask hospitals to pay for them in cash upon delivery, which is an impossible condition that cannot be accepted because hospitals do not collect their dues until months later.”
She continued in a statement: “An agreement had been reached under the auspices of the Minister of Health after adopting a new pricing mechanism that raised the prices of these supplies more than four times what they were, stipulating that companies give hospitals at least two months to pay the price of the supplies, provided that the guarantor bodies have paid the hospitals their dues.” This creates a balance in cash flow that allows hospitals to continue providing this service to patients.
This behavior by this company is completely unacceptable, and it directly bears the consequences of the hospitals’ inability to obtain medical supplies, which have no alternative to any other company since its equipment operates on a special closed system), and it requests all concerned to intervene immediately so that the company in question delivers the To the hospitals what they need so that non-delivery does not result in a major threat to the patient’s life.”
