Colombia's Health Superintendent Daniel Quintero Summoned for Congressional Oversight

Congressman Simón Molina, representing Antioquia for the Creemos party, formally submitted a political‑control citation to the Colombian Chamber of Representatives demanding that Health Superintendent Daniel Quintero appear before a debate. The request cites the deteriorating condition of the national health system and alleged irregular appointments of former collaborators within the Superintendency, such as Juan David Duque. Molina argues that the current administration of President Gustavo Petro has created a “disaster” in health care and vows rigorous fiscal oversight. The citation has been entered into the Chamber’s records, but the leadership has not yet scheduled a date for the hearing. The move revives a long‑standing political clash between Molina, who previously monitored Quintero during his 2020‑2023 mayoralty of Medellín, and the superintendent now facing questioning at the national level.
