the senator Piedad Cordoba, Through a series of trills, he highlighted the inclusion of ancestral medicine in the health reform, which promotes the National government through the Minister of Health, Carolina Corcho.
The trills of Córdoba originated a debate in Blue mornings, with Nestor Morales, regarding what it means to include this type of ancestral knowledge in a public health project today.

“I do disagree with you on that. I do believe that Minister Corcho is developing a constitutional principle on this, which is that culture in its various manifestations is the foundation of nationality and says in article 71, the State recognizes equality and dignity of all those who live in the country. The State will promote research, science, development and dissemination of the nation’s cultural values in an equitable manner,” he argued.

“How do you have an academic title like everyone else, a yerbatero, a sobandero, a tegua, whatever you want?”asked Felipe Zuleta.
However, in the debate it was also mentioned that the Minister of Health, Carolina Corcho, It has indicated that people who practice ancestral medicine must meet academic and experience requirements to be included in the health system. This measure has been seen as a way to ensure the safety and quality of medical care.
