Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

Mr. Shucri Kafie confirmed his voluntary submission to justice due to the accusations against him in the case of Instituto Hondureño de Seguridad Social (IHSS).

In an official statement issued by Dimesa, Kafie rejects the false accusations made against him and Dimesa, which is quoted below:

“Mr. Schucry Kafie, regarding the false accusations against him and his company, rejects any reference to himself or Dimesa and at the same time confirms his right to voluntarily and authorized by the court to demonstrate his adherence to the law.

The Board of Auditors of the Instituto Hondureño de Seguridad Social (IHSS) reported that they unilaterally terminated the contract held with Dimesa. It should be emphasized that, contrary to what has been reported in some media, this agreement cannot be viewed as a simple quote for the value of the equipment, but as an integral service covering much more than just the provision of equipment.

This included in addition to the financing, maintenance, supply, repairs, providing unlimited spare parts and accessories, also training for the equipment operators. DIMESA’s contract came into being on 2011, due to a competitive international bidding after going through all the legal steps and governmental organizations for approval. The contract lasted 84 months, equivalent to seven years, but the Board of Auditors interrupted such in the 40th month after terminating it on January 31, 2015. From this date forward, DIMESA ceased providing services.

This agreement provoked a substantial increase in patient care in various medical needs within the IHSS.
