"To me the numbers do not come out regarding tender hospitals," said former director of the CSS. He acknowledged that "in the tender, this administration if it includes medical equipment, but usually there is a rate used by health planners is 30% to include teams and yet the numbers do not add up."

At the time, Angelica Czarina Maytín noted that the case of course overrun for the construction of a hospital in Almirante in the province of Bocas del Toro deserves to be examined in depth.
