Colombians who have high expectations of improvements in overall health system with nbuevos bills that are in the course in Congress, should set foot on earth and initiate the union struggles to claim to have health, because It is proposed that the government does not meet the expectations of the subject know you.
The following is the text of the communication to the National Academy of Medicine sent to the Minister to claim to include in the text of what really interests the Colombian elements. Doctor
Mauricio Santamaría Salamanca
Minister of Social Protection
City.
MINISTER:
read with surprise in his column in El Tiempo on 21 November: "Therefore, we expect all players to shed their personal or professional interests and help us build the remainder of legislative process, a reform that achieves objectives of quality and equity for all Colombians. "
If you refer to as" personal or professional interests "as expressed in our communications relevant to the bills, you should know that the National Academy of Medicine is not an institution" union "in the sense that you seem to imply. Is a corporation by law "advises the national government in all matters relating to health and medical education of the Colombian people" and it is our duty, as well as public officials, safeguarding the interests of society and the individual patient . This is the ethical imperative that has guided our profession for more than 2500 to
The projects have led to Congress do not represent in any way, the long-awaited structural reform of the health system. Rather reflect what was intended to obtain the ill-fated legislative decrees of the social emergency, to the detriment of health as a human right with injury to patients, especially those with high-cost or "orphan diseases."
With the legislative proposal violates the provisions of the Constitution of Colombia, because it limits the right to health by establishing "that individual benefits put at risk the necessary resources for the care of the rest of the population" and that " recognize the system benefits and can not be financed within the resources allocated by law for that purpose. " More than anyone, and health professionals understand that resources are limited, however, the proposed legislation would authorize insurers to intermediaries determine at the limitations in the provision of health services.
Nowhere bills refer to the excessive costs of intermediation, or abuse in the Fosyga recoveries, or the improper use of resources for purposes other than social security and the creation of oligopolies really explain the economic crisis model current. Rather blame the patients and providers of health care as those responsible for the crisis and seek to correct limiting services.
really regret that in the three times you agreed to hear the views of this Academy, has been excused. I still hope to be able to present to you our views.
For now, we must express that the National Academy of Medicine does not support the proposed reforms as they are presented, excluding areas that are considered essential, not for "personal or professional interests, but to defend the interests of patients, of those that we as physicians, we must treat, not those of the intermediary institutions, which should be as satisfied with the current bills.
Sincerely,
Malagon GUSTAVO FELIX JOSE PATINO RESTREPO LONDOÑO
