The framework law number 1438 setting the major principles of the new health financing reform in Colombia was enacted on 19 January 2011. The bill number 210-2013 currently under discussion in Parliament committees, once approved, will provide further guidance for implementation and allocation of responsibilities.
In this context, the Government of Colombia requested a 400 million USD loan from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to be used for implementing the new health financing reform.
In order to better design its technical support and in line with the P4H “inform and involve principle”, AFD requested the Groupement d’Intérêt Public – Santé et Protection Sociale Internationale (GIP-SPSI), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the P4H coordination desk (CD) to participate in the AFD scoping mission.
