Antioch
Through a statement, Carlos Valdivieso, president of the Medical College of Antioquia spoke about at least five points that he considers drawbacks of the rate manual that the Ministry of Health published and deleted in the last hours.
For the doctors of Antioquia, one of the points is that this manual has legal defects, they also consider that the methodology is not ideal and that medical organizations were not consulted either.

“For example in the proposed methodological framework says that the ACSC, which brings together 69 organizations of specialists from the country participated. This is not the case,” the document reads.

“The presence of specialists in rural and distant areas is not encouraged because there are no incentives. It does not encourage new technologies, on the contrary, for example, it equates video laparoscopic surgery with open surgery, which means that the IPS have no incentives for technological improvement,” they question.
They also warn that this could lead to the migration of thousands of specialists to other countriesand that highly complex surgeries also disappear.

“A group of transplant surgeons in an exercise with this tariff manual found that, if they were previously paid 10,000,000 for a specific surgery, with those rates they would receive 1,200,000. Many are thinking about emigrating from the country.”
They end the statement by strongly criticizing the government of President Gustavo Petro, considering that the manual is “one more example of the autocratic character of the government, which does not consult the technicians, and does not understand that consultation is necessary to make changes. Colombia is a democracy, not an authoritarian regime. The provision of Health services to Colombians cannot be affected in this way. “It will generate a very serious setback in the quality of care.”
