AFIN Warns PADOMI Medicine Deliveries Could Halt Oct. 31, EsSalud Says Service Will Continue

AFIN says accumulated debts to logistics operator Salog threaten home delivery for more than 50,000 vulnerable patients across Lima and Callao.

Overview

  • The industry group AFIN warned that PADOMI-Delivery could be suspended from October 31 due to unpaid invoices EsSalud allegedly owes to Salog.
  • AFIN reports the service currently reaches 56 districts and serves older adults and people with limited mobility who receive medicines at home.
  • If halted, beneficiaries would need to travel to the Complejo Hospitalario Arenales to collect medications, adding costs and health risks.
  • AFIN says Salog has kept operations running for months using its own resources while requesting payment regularization without success.
  • EsSalud stated the contract with Salog remains in force, said it is processing pending payments, and asserted the delivery service will not be interrupted.
