Dialogue between teachers from Antioquia and Fomag in Bogotá reaches a stalemate
The back-and-forth continues from Bogotá between unionized teachers from the department and the National Fund for Social Benefits of Teachers (Fomag) due to the serious health crisis faced by teachers as a result of changes in their health system, which, according to teachers, has only brought headaches.
TL;DR
- A meeting between unionized teachers from Antioquia and Fomag officials did not result in concrete solutions for the health crisis.
- 70% of the 2,839 complaints from teachers in Antioquia are related to the lack of medication.
- The new pharmaceutical manager, operating for only a month and a half, is already facing delays in medication delivery.
- Union representatives questioned the effectiveness of the current health model and criticized Fomag's report for not reflecting the reality of the service.
- Union representatives withdrew from the meeting, demanding solutions, on-site meetings, and the presence of oversight bodies.
- Fomag stated the meeting ended prematurely, while unions believe it exposed the current model's inability to provide quick solutions.
