First, DINAVISA’s refusal of rapid tests was made known and now the ministry itself, through the Ministry’s network of laboratories, pays more attention to the Paraguayan Chamber of Diagnostic Innovators (CAPADI) than to the good of the citizenry, in order to prevent new entrepreneurs from entering the market.
It is that the arrival on the market of companies supplying reagents for in vitro diagnostics fell like a bucket of cold water for those nucleated in the Paraguayan Chamber of Diagnostic Innovators (CAPADI), who through a note addressed to the General Directorate of Development Service and Health Networks intend to prohibit competition in the field; given the case, it would cloud any bidding process.
CAPADI’s request focuses on the request to maintain the award system that suits its members. Hospital calls for bids are made by Lot/Area/Hospital and not by item, they argue the request in that, according to them, the questioned companies do not have the capacity, technical structures or personnel to respond to the calls as it is now. They add that they are only there to hinder the processes with unfounded protests.
It is clear that they intend to maintain the lock and prevent any company from participating in public tenders to supply hospitals and/or laboratories, when a tender is a legal mechanism for government agencies to acquire or contract goods or services where the interested parties they formulate their proposals complying with the bases of the specifications and the best one is selected.
In itself, it is taken for granted that the companies that participate must comply with all the requirements required by law and by the conveners; There should be no concern that companies attend the calls since the process is carried out in accordance with the Law.
