Vol. 25 No. 2 (2023): Pediatric Hospitalization Bed Closures: A Challenge for Public Health in Colombia
Colombia has faced a significant challenge in the provision of healthcare for children for over a decade, primarily due to the ongoing closure of pediatric hospitalization beds. This issue, evident over time in the Registro Especial de Prestadores de Salud (REPS), has been exacerbated by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The continuous closure of these beds reflects the intricacies and challenges within our healthcare system, prompting concern and debate within the scientific community. This matter directly impacts the capacity for medical care and the well-being of citizens, particularly children who are constitutionally entitled to special protection.
