    The Minister of Health, Miguel Mayo, announced yesterday that a 911 number to report medical emergencies will begin service in April, and will help coordinate the dispatch of ambulances.

    Apart from MINSA, other affiliates of the 911 service will be SINAPROC, the Policia Nacional, the Bomberos, and the Caja de Seguro Social (once confirmed by the CSS board)

    The National Assembly made an amendment to Law 68 of 2016, which regulates basic compulsory insurance in the case of traffic accidents.

     

    When the law came into force, it stipulated that the driver of the vehicle responsible for the accident would be the one who would have to pay for the damage caused.

    At the time it was criticized because the owner of the vehicle and the insurer were exempt from liability.

     

    With the new modification, published this Thursday, May 24 in the Official Gazette, the responsibility falls on the insurance company issuing the policy, the driver and the owner of the vehicle.

    It is also detailed that the insurer will respond up to the limit of the amount stipulated in the policy, while the driver and the owner will "respond jointly and severally" for the amount that corresponds to pay.
