Trustee files nearly XCG 80 million claim against Curaçao over hospital sale
What happened
Danilo Narvaez, the bankruptcy trustee of St. Elisabeth Hospital, filed a claim for nearly XCG 80 million against Curaçao in a local court. The claim relates to alleged non-performance and unlawful conduct connected to a 2013 Memorandum of Understanding that governed the transition of the former SEHOS hospital. This dispute is critical because the physical hospital complex has already been sold.

Why it matters
The lawsuit challenges the terms of the hospital complex's sale. Curaçao had previously approached Narvaez in July 2025, offering XCG 4 million for the complex, provided he would abandon the nearly XCG 80 million claim. The claim represents a significant financial liability against the Country of Curaçao.
