Overview
- Inspectors identified iodine, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, dialysis supplies and catheters expired as far back as 1997 still held in the hospital’s inventory.
- Additional medicines that expired in 2024 had not been destroyed or written off, indicating persistent lapses in stock rotation and disposal.
- Cold‑chain safeguards were compromised, with a temperature monitor failing to record accurately and a conservator out of service for two years.
- Deteriorated medical equipment remained registered as active despite being unusable and awaiting formal decommissioning.
- At the Manco Cápac barracks of the 4th Mountain Brigade, sacks of beans expired since 2016 were found, prompting an OCI review of food-supply contracts, addenda and execution from 2024 to the present.
