The Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture, and Industry of Panama (CCIAP) announced in its usual weekend press release that it will forward its proposal to the lawmakers on Monday, in a bid to transform the institution into a model of efficiency, inclusiveness, and transparency.

The message adds that the CSS’s current level of deterioration requires us to address this problem realistically and rationally, without wasting time on alternatives that lead nowhere or make everything worse.

Every Panamanian must receive timely and quality medical care and medicines, eliminating the barriers affecting millions of insured people.

Entrepreneurs advocate using new technological systems and the total digitalization of the CSS in the reforms to allow for an orderly and optimal management of healthcare services. Each insured person will have real-time access to significant information, such as contributions, savings amount, and money yield.

The National Front for the Defense of Economic and Social Rights announced on Saturday that it would stage a rally near the Legislative building as of Monday, to protest the bill and demand a new inclusive text that responds to the interests of all Panamanians, especially the most vulnerable citizens.
