In recent weeks, the former head of the Health portfolio has given little opinion from her Twitter account.
2/6/2023
37 days have passed since the decision of the Government of Gustavo Petro to change seven ministers. On the list was Carolina Corcho, the former head of the Health and Social Protection portfolio.
Among the reasons for his departure was the failed agreement to carry out the reform of the sector he directed. Controversies, disagreements, false announcements of agreements and more political moves left out who she became one of the leaders of public opinion in the sector.
And she has also declined public comment on the issue. If a lot, through her Twitter account, in which she was very active during the critical months of the pandemic, she retweets what is happening with the idea that she led and has very little opinion.
In the last hours, sharing the reminder for a Facebook Live in which he will be, he invited to participate.
The former minister shared it by adding, “invitation for tomorrow”, and one of the criticisms was made by the General Director of Sapyens SAS BIC and critic of the reform, Alejandra Taborda Restrepo.
“Very brave to stand up for a cause following being fired. My respects. Real activism”he expressed.
Former Minister Fernando Ruiz questions the Colombian Medical Federation: “It should be more careful”
In response to a press release shared by the Colombian Medical Federation, in which he stated his position on the health reform, former minister Fernando Ruiz expressed his doubts regarding the representativeness of that organization.
Through his Twitter account, the former official maintained that currently the Colombian Medical Federation is not the only one that brings together the positions of medical professionals in national territory.
“The Colombian Medical Federation should be more careful when it is attributed to bring together the country’s medical body, supplanting other much more representative associations,” said former minister Ruiz.
And he warned that it is important that this organization indicates to what extent it is able to champion the positions of the medical union. “Therefore, it is very indelicate to use the term National Medical Board. They should reveal at once how many active members they have.” concluded the former official, who has been one of the staunchest opponents of the health reform that the Government is promoting in the Congress of the Republic.
It is not, however, the first time that the Colombian Medical Federation has been criticized. During the administration of the former Minister of Health, Carolina Corcho, they had already pointed out the supposed privileges that this organization had, since she herself had been its vice president.
In effect, in the statement published on June 1 and signed by the National Medical Board, which is made up of various organizations of the union (including the Colombian Medical Federation), that entity indicated that it will provide the State with all the technical and professional support it be within your reach.
Among other things, he pointed out that he is defending a decalogue that had already been established since 2018 and which contains some basic principles of what they consider should be reformed within the Colombian health system.
“This Decalogue establishes the need to eliminate financial intermediation as the structural cause of the deep crisis of the system; safeguard the stewardship, direction and coordination of public health policy to the State; increase the participation of civil society; organize comprehensive health care under the principle of equity and territorial epidemiological criteria; Strengthen all networks of health providers, especially the public network and university hospitals,” said the National Medical Board.
