What does the motion of censure say?

In the document that supports the censorship, it was detailed that the head of the Ministry of Health lacked suitability to occupy the position, since a few days before his appointment “he exercised the profession in an inadequate manner by promoting the sale of Cluster X2 (‘agua arracimada’ ) attributing medicinal properties to it that have not been verified or certified by any official or academic authority”.

It also reported that Condori Machado used his status as a doctor to promote a cervical cancer diagnostic service in 1 minute, despite not having a specialty in gynecology or oncology.

“Hernán Condori Machado has not shown the capacity to hold office either. Thus, from a review of the resume and experience in public health management, it can be seen that the Minister of Health was appointed as Regional Director of Health in Junín on January 2, 2020 and remained in office until January 8 of the same year. On that occasion, he was removed from office for lack of suitability to hold office, ”the document added.

Among other arguments, it indicated that the appointment of Hernán Condori provoked a unanimous rejection of the country’s medical community, represented by the Medical College of Peru, which held a sit-in against him.
