“Additionally, it is striking that the Superintendent has been left crossing this unacceptable omission since his possession because he had to wait for a requirement of the Colombian Congress to require explanations to the auditor of the new EPS. And given this situation, one does not explain how Minister Jaramillo, practically blind, is saying that the UPC is sufficient”He said.
He had to ask for explanations (24/01) for the lack of financial information of Nueva EPS so that @giovannyrubian required the auditor (01/27)

To the situation is added the Audifarma complaint where it was stressed that The new EPS has not rotated even half of the resources promised since January of this year against Supersalud. Specifically, the promoter through her auditing agent had committed to paying $ 110,000 million, but the dispenser said that so far it has only turned $ 43,000 million.

Likewise, they reiterated that it has been breached with the sending of the information that allows legalizing payments that amount to December 31, 2024, to the sum of $ 486,315 million.
“The eventual lack of payment puts the lives of millions of users at risk, especially those who suffer from chronic or high -cost diseases because the availability of these essential supplies, the control and treatment of their pathologies is committed,” they said.
For this reason the operator confirmed the pausa of services, so they call on the new EPS to meet the agreed conditions that enable the provision of the service and avoid, in this case, the cessation of the service.
