President of Essalud (Peru's Social Security system), Fernando Barrios Ipenza, is asking Spanish businessmen to invest in Peru in some projects that the aforementioned institution is planning.

Barrios Ipenza explained those plans to the businessmen in a meeting that took place last Wednesday in Madrid, under the sponsorship of the Interamerican Bank of Development and the Spanish Government.

He said that Essalud's main objective is to optimize health services for Peruvian citizens.

"This will be done through private financing oriented to the construction of new hospital infrastructure and the improvement of the management system.  We are not talking about putting in private hands neither the social security nor the hospitals; they will remain public. Only the management will be in private hands," he pointed out.

Yeah, good idea....maybe send back a few millions from the gold that they stole from Peru.

I hope I am wrong but I expect chaos when there is a public system with private management or, for that matter, a private system with public management. Both sides will simply say that all that goes wrong is the fault of the other.
