WILLEMSTAD – The management of the Analytical Diagnostic Center (ADC) has strongly criticized a recent report by the Working Group for the Improvement of Solvency, claiming it lacks supporting analysis and fails to address the core financial challenges faced by the national laboratory. 

The ADC stated that although the report outlines general findings, it fails to provide detailed substantiation based on underlying financial analyses. 

The laboratory argues that the report’s recommendations do not contribute to any structural improvements in its solvency and do not identify the root causes of its current financial position. 

In addition, the ADC accused the working group of: 

Failing to define key terms and financial concepts consistently, 

Omitting essential documentation, and 

Not presenting a concrete action plan to address the solvency issues. 

The working group was established by Minister of Health, Environment and Nature, Javier Silvania (MFK), with the goal of analyzing and improving the ADC’s solvency. However, tensions between the institution and the ministry appear to be growing, as the laboratory challenges both the validity and utility of the group’s findings. 

The ADC remains under financial pressure, particularly after recent investments in new infrastructure, but insists that meaningful solutions must be based on thorough and transparent analysis.
