Concerns Over Economic Development in Panama

In Panama, issues arise regarding economic investment and healthcare accessibility for the elderly. A local clinic's location complicates access for senior citizens, prompting calls for change.


Panama has been the subject of criticism due to its refusal to be an instrument for fulfilling a campaign promise by Donald Trump. This has raised doubts about the country's commitment to its development. A relative of Josefa questions the Minister of Public Works about when the projects initiated by his predecessor will be revealed, highlighting the need for transparency in public management.

It is expected that the investment of 350 million dollars aimed at boosting the economy will benefit a wide range of contractors, preventing the same usual ones from unfairly profiting and leaving unfinished works. It is essential that the government timely fulfills payments to contractors and suppliers to maintain stability and trust in the sector.

On the other hand, complaints about issues in taxpayer assistance at the DGI of Colón have emerged, as well as alleged unethical dealings. The lack of efficiency in managing entities like the ATTT also generates concern, highlighting the need to improve services and avoid irregular practices.

Regarding the political situation, the supposed lack of action against corruption is criticized, which has led to the loss of millions of dollars for the country. Some suggest addressing certain issues, such as mining activity, through a referendum to ensure citizen participation in crucial decisions.

Furthermore, the opacity in the handling of electoral subsidies by political leaders is questioned, while transparency is demanded in other aspects. These practices generate discontent among the population, demonstrating the need for more ethical and responsible management in the political sphere.

Elderly users have complained about the difficulties in accessing health services at the San Francisco Polyclinic, where the outpatient clinic is located on the second floor, making it difficult for them to receive care. It is essential to address these needs to guarantee accessible and adequate medical attention for all citizens.
