TL;DR
- The ACSC formally requested information on Basic Health Teams (EBS) from the Ministry of Health on August 6, 2025.
- The Ministry has not provided substantive information despite the requests and a court order.
- EBS are described as a pillar of the government's primary care model, integrating professionals for disease prevention and early detection in vulnerable populations.
- The ACSC is concerned that the lack of data prevents proper evaluation of the EBS program's operation and effectiveness.
- Over $4 trillion COP has reportedly been invested in EBS since 2022, but the ACSC questions the clarity of resource usage by state social enterprises.
- The Ministry's responses have omitted requested data and sometimes contradict its own technical guidelines.
- The ACSC disputes the Ministry's assertion that the National Superintendency of Health is solely responsible for program oversight, pointing to the Ministry's own technical guidelines that mandate data collection via SISPRO.
