Colombians will have universal access to healthcare by 2012, announced President Juan Manuel Santos Friday.
The Colombian heathcare sector will be restructured over the next two years to integrate new government subsidies, the Colombian head of state told the media.
“We will have a universal benefit plan, an equitable and comprehensive one that will not exclude any pathology, that is not going to exclude any disease,” Santos said.
The expansion of the benefit plan begins this year, Colombian Minister of Social Protection Mauricio Santamaria explained.
