Uruguay’s Ministry of Public Health (MSP) is facing criticism after an administrative error impacted a disciplinary case brought by anesthesiologist Miralles. The ministry acknowledged responding late to Miralles’ challenge against a sanction, leading to the denial of his request to present witnesses in the trial. This admission was made during a parliamentary session and prompted renewed scrutiny from opposition parties, particularly Lema, who accuse the MSP of initially concealing the information. An internal investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the delayed response. The error effectively hindered Miralles’ defense, raising questions about due process in disciplinary proceedings. Opposition members are demanding greater transparency from the ministry regarding the handling of this and similar cases. The situation highlights potential systemic issues within the MSP’s administrative processes.
