This news is an incentive for the complex panorama of the health sector at the national level: Colombia faces an estimated deficit of 60,000 doctors to reach the OECD density standard. In Tolima, the situation is even more critical, with just 15.93 doctors per 10,000 inhabitants. In spite of this, Medicine remains the career with the greatest employability in the country (94.9 %), while non -covered vacancies in the health sector continue to increase, driven by population aging and the growth of postpandymia infrastructure.
