Arbitration and public procurement in health services

Abstract

Arbitration in public procurement has had a colossal huge development in the country, because generally conflicts involving contracts with the State are generally resolved through arbitration. This paper addresses a poorly known and developed topic: arbitration in public procurement in health service public procurements. This type of arbitration occurs in disputes arising from contracts between the State and health facilities, to provide medical care to for the insured. The State enters into contracts as a public Iafas (EsSalud or SIS) with Ipress (clinics). This is an arbitration specialized in health, where the State Contracting Public Procurement Law, its Regulations and the corresponding health regulations are essentially applied. This research work provides central ideas based on the author’s experience.
