Los hospitales públicos de Risaralda anunciaron la suspensión de servicios médicos no urgentes para más de 400.000 afiliados a la Nueva EPS a partir del viernes 16 de enero, debido a las millonarias deudas acumuladas por esta entidad intervenida por el gobierno nacional.
TL;DR
- Public hospitals in Risaralda will cease non-urgent services for over 400,000 Nueva EPS affiliates from January 16th.
- The decision is due to accumulated debts exceeding 57 billion pesos from Nueva EPS and 34 billion pesos from Asmet Salud to the Hospital San Jorge de Pereira.
- Only life-threatening emergencies will be treated, halting scheduled surgeries, hospitalizations, and specialized procedures.
- Patients undergoing oncological treatments are particularly vulnerable, facing paralysis of their health processes.
- Hospital directors blame the national government for frequent changes in Nueva EPS administrators, disrupting payment agreements.
