Three months after the launch of the strategy, sAction plans have been carried out that link 22 EPS in contributory, subsidized and indigenous schemes so that they provide answers and solutions to the needs of their affiliates, and to establish payment agreements with establishments that offer services in the territories.

“We have reached those territories where extreme criticality has predominated for
to enforce our two main lines of action: to guarantee the right
the health of citizens and protect public health resources“, assured the
National Superintendent of Health, Ulahí Beltrán López.

So far there have been days of intervention in Casanare,
Guaviare, Antioquia, Bogotá, Chocó, Valle del Cauca, Santander, Vaupés, Vichada, Risaralda, Bolívar, Meta and Putumayo.
