Union of Pharmacies reports irregularities in SeNaSa medication dispensing

Santo Domingo.- The Union of Pharmacies, Inc., representing over 1,650 pharmacies nationwide, has reported irregularities in medication dispensing linked to the National Health Insurance (SeNaSa). The organization emphasized its commitment to legality, transparency, and ethical business practices, noting that longstanding violations harm service quality and public access to medications.

A major concern is the restriction of legally authorized pharmacies from participating in SeNaSa’s provider network, which the union views as a breach of Social Security Law 87-01 and Sisalril regulations. Additionally, private intermediaries have allegedly charged improper fees for integrating healthcare providers, negatively affecting service quality and low-income patients.

The union stressed that none of its members engaged in these practices and reaffirmed its willingness to fully cooperate with ongoing investigations to clarify the situation.
