Colombia expands medical infrastructure in Bolívar and Antioquia

In the department of Bolívar, Governor Yamil Arana Padauí has overseen the delivery of 355 biomedical devices to hospitals in San Pablo, Río Viejo, Altos del Rosario, and Cantagallo. The equipment is intended to strengthen emergency services, clinical laboratories, and diagnostic imaging, specifically aiming to reduce the need for patients in rural areas to travel to other regions for care.

In Antioquia, the construction firm Arquitectura y Concreto announced a 150 billion peso investment for the Distrito Vivari project in Rionegro. This mixed-use complex will include the first precision oncology clinic in the Oriente Antioqueño region. The project aims to decentralize high-complexity medical services, such as radiotherapy and specialized surgeries, to alleviate hospital saturation in Medellín and reduce travel burdens for cancer patients.
