Crisis de salud: Contraloría alerta que no está llegando plata a hospitales públicos

TL;DR

  • Public hospital debt increased by 30% (from COP 12.5 trillion to COP 16.28 trillion) in nine months.
  • Direct payments are disproportionately favoring private providers (67.7%) over public hospitals (23.2%).
  • EPS payments are often partial, late, or non-existent, even for services funded by the UPC.
  • The financial crisis affects all levels of public hospitals, with the second level showing the worst performance.
  • The Contraloría has requested financial statements from Nueva EPS since 2023 and urges immediate structural measures from health authorities.
