Financing of the Colombian Health System during a period of reform

Colombia’s healthcare system is still in the process of reform. The Ministry of Health indicates that the amounts granted to the capitation payment units in recent years have not been sufficient. It calls for clarification of payment modalities to EPSs for the coming years.

Colombia’s Congress continues the process of reforming the country’s healthcare system. In this article from the newspaper El Heraldo, it is reported that the Ministry of Health is asking for the correct calculation of the Capitation Payment Unit (UPC) for 2025. It is not even clear what the modalities of payment to the Health Promoting Entities will be for the coming years. It is clear that the provision of quality health services depends on adequate financing and timely disbursement.
