Colombia healthcare system administrative and financial rest

Overview

In late September 2026, EPS Sanitas announced a restructuring of its pharmaceutical management network across several Colombian departments, including Bogotá, Antioquia, and Nariño. The changes, effective October 1, involved transitioning medication dispensing responsibilities to various operators such as Colsubsidio, Disfarma, and Ramédicas.

By late October 2026, the Colombian Ministry of Health and Social Protection introduced a financial intervention through Resolution 2445. This resolution established a direct credit line managed by ADRES to assist Health Promoting Entities (EPS) in financing outstanding obligations for medications and medical procedures. These one-time credits are designed to pay healthcare providers and technology suppliers directly for services reported as pending in September 2026, provided the EPS are not under forced intervention or voluntary withdrawal.
