Health status of journalist Yamid Amat

Overview

Renowned Colombian journalist Yamid Amat, 84, was hospitalized in critical condition at the Fundación Santa Fe in Bogotá following a sudden health decline while traveling from Anapoima. The medical institution initially placed him in the intensive care unit under a ‘reserved prognosis,’ requiring ‘comprehensive and multidisciplinary management.’

By September 24, Amat’s son, Yamid Amat Serna, reported a positive health evolution, noting that the journalist had woken up and responded favorably to treatment. This progress suggested a potential transfer from intensive care to a general hospital ward.

On October 4, 2026, the hospital’s medical director, Adolfo Llinás Volpe, released an official statement confirming that Amat is showing a ‘satisfactory clinical evolution’ and a ‘favorable response to medical treatment.’ The institution noted that further updates will be issued only upon relevant changes in his clinical status and with express authorization from his family. Previously, Amat’s son had utilized social media to address false rumors regarding his father’s health status.
