Hospital Municipal in Argentina and Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio in Colombia confront staffing and service challenges

The director of Hospital Municipal Felipe A. Fossati in Balcarce, Argentina, outlined plans to reorganize the imaging department and double guard‑pay to ease the overload on staff, noting a shortage of specialized professionals. He said, “Para esta actividad no hay personas... se otorgaría un valor extraordinario a la guardia pasiva,” and mentioned two external radiologists willing to help.

In Bogotá, Colombia, Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio announced it will temporarily suspend emergency services due to unpaid bills from EPS Famisanar, which is under Superintendencia de Salud intervention. While pediatric oncology and hemophilia care will continue, all medical personnel will be reassigned pending resolution of the financial dispute, with the suspension slated to begin on July 1.
