This organization has more than 195 organizations of patients of
the whole country andusers of the health system are summoned to mobilize this Thursday, March 9 in Bogota, Medellin and Cali“.
Your watchword is “#ReformYesButNotSo“in it they collect their indignation at a reform that they consider “it destroys the country’s Health System and endangers the most vulnerable populations; does not improve the timeliness and quality of care; corruption will take over the Health System and health resources can be politicized; and we ask for the accumulation of reform projects in Congress“.

Bogota: the mobilization will leave at 9 in the morning from the National Park to the
Santander Park.
Medellin: It will leave at 10 in the morning from El Palo with La Playa to Parque de las
Lights.
Cali: It will leave at 9 in the morning from the Jairo Varela Square to the Governor’s Office.

They see in this health system access to comprehensive care and the possibility of meeting each of the actors in the health system and consider that “The government reform does not solve the main problem that users and patients have today: the lack of medical specialists that generates long times on the waiting list for appointments“.
“With the reform we all lose our affiliation to the health system and lose the possibility of choosing where to receive care. We will have to wait in line and do the paperwork to register with each member of the family where they will attend us and the right to effective participation is lost.“adds the union in a statement issued.

Another of the points that they question is that in the reform project it is not clear the route that the users of the system can follow to obtain solutions, because with the current system “When users have a problem due to denial or delay, the path is clear and it is known who to take care of“.
