During the afternoon of this Wednesday the Chamber of the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies analyzed the massive rejections of medical licenses that have been verified within the context of a pandemic, an instance where Minister Enrique Paris referred to a demand by Cega Supplies, company that accuses the Undersecretariat of Assistance Networks of the Ministry of Health of making her buy 100 mechanical ventilators and then disregard the deal.

It was deputy Juan Luis Castro (PS) who consulted Minister Paris, to which he replied that the case “is about an airplane that was sent to look for mechanical fans and that in the middle of the trip it was ordered to return to Santiago” .

As noted, the above it happened because “the mechanical fans that should have been delivered to the Chilean embassy in China were not delivered at the time the vendors had promised to deliver them.”

“They, without the authorization of the embassy, ​​left the fans in a warehouse at the airport where they were going to be removed and that, therefore, is in dispute. There is no dispute, from the legal point of view, with the company that promised to deliver the fans, take them on a Friday, on a weekday, to the Chilean embassy in China ”, he declared.

Added that “They did not take him at that time (Friday), they took them over the weekend and obviously the ambassador could not receive them, and he did not have authorization from the Ministry.”

“They left them in a warehouse and when it was learned that the plane, obviously (…) the plane had to return from China, or half of the trip, to return.”

He also explained that the case “is going to be investigated by the courts and if the Comptroller’s Office also has interference in this matter, we are going to give it all possible answers.”

After the above, Paris pointed out to Deputy Castro: “Without knowing that you were going to ask me this, I investigated it today, because obviously I was also concerned about this article that appeared in a national media outlet and we are going to clarify all the circumstances in relation to that situation ”.

Despite the response of Minister Paris, The company accuses that once the agreement was sealed, the Undersecretary of Healthcare Networks simply stopped responding to the messages, despite the fact that they had already acquired the ventilators from the Chinese supplier for several million dollars.

At least that is how it appears in an email sent on June 8 by the company to Adriana Sánchez, the head of Services Administration, Administration and Finance Division of the department.

According to the e-mails sent on June 3 by the company, the delivery of the devices had to take place at the Chilean Embassy in Beijing, in batches of 20 to 30 daily fans, starting 5 business days after the order was issued. shopping. That is, on June 12.
