He Medical Union of Uruguay Assistance Center (Casmu) presented its restructuring plan and its president Raul Rodriguez He assured that the cash flow allows the mutual fund to reach April 2025 in “good conditions”, in the midst of the conflict with the Ministry of Public Health (MSP).
From the MSP They assured that the situation is not comparable with that of House of Galicia and questioned the “unfounded accusations” about the portfolio he leads Karina Rando seeks to “close and declare the bankruptcy” of Casmu.
After presenting the business plan and financial viability report to the MSP, Rodríguez pointed out that the mutualist has a cash flow which “allows us to reach April next year in good condition” and aims to improve “the efficiency of services.”
The president of Casmu, who took office in 2022, said that the mutualist “gave credit” and regretted: “Many paid, but there were boxes of documents here in this company for 150 million pesos that were not paid. Every year there were 50 million pesos of loss”.
About the new escrow Regarding the $56 million loan requested by Casmu, Rodriguez said: “We need it to access loans from other institutions and lower our financial costs.”
Questions from the Ministry of Public Health
Prior to the delivery of the document, the MSP clarified that the request for information “was not a threat, but rather a summons as established by law” and clarified: “The healthcare risk arises from the Casmu board’s own approach”, noting that it has “some overdue obligations”.
“The MSP has no interest in financially drowning Casmu,” the portfolio led by Rando stressed in a statement and recalled the approval of a guarantee for which they received a trust worth 200 million Indexed Units (UI).

In turn, he recalled that since August 2022 there are more than 300 non-medical workers per month, in unemployment insurance publicly funded, while ASSE keeps up to date with the payment of the services purchased from Casmu and there is also technical assistance from the Monitoring Unit.
“It is a mistake to compare the situation of Casmu with House of Galicia. There are many points that differentiate the situation of one provider from the other. Among them, we highlight that Casa de Galicia requested bankruptcy due to its state of insolvency and that it was the Judiciary that decreed the closure, not the MSP,” the letter stated.
