Free of charge includes both the initiation and issuance of administrative acts, reducing economic barriers for small providers, community organizations and mental health establishments, among others.
3- Exception: Procedures before the DSFyTT. The collection of fees for the services provided by the DSFyTT, the area responsible for health surveillance at ports, airports, border crossings and transport terminals, is maintained.
4- Specific Exemptions: National public health establishments, those belonging to the Armed and Security Forces, and those of National Universities continue to be exempt from payment of the fees of the Annex.
5- Implementation and Adaptation of Systems: The DNHFSF must adapt forms, instructions and computer platforms to reflect the new condition of free of charge and the fees of the Annex.
