Spotlight on Senasa

The new administration at Senasa, the government health insurance plan entity, has authorized spending RD$50 million to hire private auditing companies to determine the level of irregularities in the organization. It is not known in what measure the audits will delay the prosecuting of those so far suspected to be responsible for irregularities.

The director of the Superintendance of Insurance Risks (Sisalril) Miguel Ceara Hatton and the newly appointed director of the Senasa, Edward Rafael Guzman Padilla have submitted preliminary findings to the Attorney General Office.

Former Senasa director Chanel Rosa Chupany said that the government health insurance management had kept double accounting practices, reporting parallel figures to the Superintendence of Insurance Risks (Sisalril).

Rosa Chupany is also a former director of the National Health Service (SNS) that manages public hospitals.

Regarding the issue, President Luis Abinader has said the Attorney General Office is the entity that needs to take action and prosecute those responsible.

President Luis Abinader appointed a new director of Sisalril, Miguel Ceara Hatton in August 2024. He replaced Jesús Feris Iglesias.
