Hoy newspaper’s editorial takes the side of Padre Billini Hospital which has requested supplies from the state medical supply department, Promese. The hospital needs the supplies to treat 45 patients who undergo hemodialysis at the hospital. The newspaper highlights that Promese’s capacity to provide the needed supplies was curtailed when the department increased its payroll, leaving it without enough funds to purchase normal levels of supplies and medicines for the public hospitals. Dr. Eric Baez Ortiz criticized the situation in Hoy newspaper, urging a prompt solution. The newspaper today publishes that Dr. Baez quotes Dr. Francisco Benoit, director of Promese, telling him that he would not provide the supplies "even if all the patients die."
