Dina Boluarte He does not appear as a client in the fee receipts from March to July 2023 of Dr. Mario Cabani, as evidenced by Willax. This despite the fact that the lawyer for the president, Juan Carlos Portugal, He stated that Cabani was in charge of performing surgery on the head of state’s nose and that said intervention was carried out in June 2023.
According to the aforementioned media, in March 2023, seven receipts for fees were issued, while in April and May of the same year there were 11.
In May, the last fee receipt was issued on the 31st and the next one is dated June 30, 2023. After that, the next receipt is dated July 27.
None of these vouchers were issued as Dina Boluartedespite the fact that her defense has publicly confirmed that the president had surgery with Dr. Mario Cabani on the night of June 28, 2023.
Therefore, it is striking that the head of state does not appear as a client in Cabani’s fee receipts from March to July 2023, despite the fact that the date of her intervention falls within that period.
Mario Cabani wanted to sign an agreement with EsSalud
In this context, it is necessary to remember that Cabani processed an inter-institutional agreement between its NGO Cabani Salud and EsSalud on July 17, 2023, that is, less than a month after operating on the president.
According to an investigation by Epicentro, the project that Cavani presented proposed “providing free facial reconstructive and aesthetic treatments and surgeries” to women victims of gender violence.
Also, they proposed offering legal advice to patients, carrying out communication campaigns against gender violence and women’s rights and “facilitating the use of medical and technological equipment available for the development of the service in the case of reconstructive and recovery procedures.” “.
Meanwhile, EsSalud should refer the patients who would benefit to the NGO and disseminate the project in its media.
This proposal was evaluated internally by the entity for almost 18 months and was definitively archived on November 13, 2024, shortly before it became known that Cabani and the president of EsSalud, María Elena Aguilar del Águila, worked together years ago.
The agreement was rejected by the Senior Management.
In this regard, EsSalud informed Epicentro that Cabani’s project did not reach Aguilar del Águila’s office, however, they did not specify if she was aware of it.
For this reason, the Congressional Oversight Commissionsummoned, on December 10, 2024, President Dina Boluarte’s plastic surgeon to respond to the intervention and a possible recommendation from officials within the State, however, the doctor did not attend.
For now, the president’s defense has not confirmed again that Mario Cabani operated on the president. On January 13, after accompanying Boluarte in his statement before the Prosecutor’s Office for the surgery case, the lawyer said that he could not reveal all the names of the specialists who were present on the day of the operation.
