TL;DR
- The Comptroller General warns the Superintendency of Health about the critical and sustained deterioration of intervened EPS.
- Interventions are not stabilizing the system, with EPS showing critical financial and legal non-compliance.
- Nueva EPS, Coosalud, Famisanar, and others face significant financial risks, including uncertified statements, reserve deficits, and increased debt.
- Financial deterioration is linked to delays in medication delivery, low compliance with court orders, and a surge in user complaints.
- The Comptroller will convene a meeting to address findings and monitor corrective actions, urging stronger oversight.
- EPS under intervention are failing to meet key financial indicators, leading to concerns about service continuity and public resource sustainability.
