Gasto Publico

Civil-society groups have called on the government to redirect about 7 billion lempiras (roughly $280 million) now spent on subsidies toward public investment instead.

A high-tech linear accelerator donated to Hospital San Felipe and installed earlier this year remains inactive because the government has requested an additional L120 million (about $4.8 million) to make it operational, without clearly explaining why or how it relates to L100 million already spent on equipment.
