The National Health Superintendence ordered forced intervention to manage the San Rafael de Leticia Hospital, in Amazonas, for a term of one year, after concluding a follow-up phase in which administrative, financial, healthcare and legal failures were identified. .
These failures, according to Supersalud, “put at risk the adequate and timely attention to the users of this department”.
Supersalud noted that in the San Rafael de Leticia Hospital “accessible, timely, continuous and safe services are not guaranteed, generating a risk to the lives of users”.
This decision is known at a time when Amazonas ranks as the department with the highest proportion of covid-19 cases per million inhabitants, with more than a thousand, tripling Bogotá. According to the most recent report from the health authorities, 104 cases of coronavirus and five deaths have been confirmed.

In the follow-up, the organism showed that the teams of that medical center do not have hospital maintenance nor are they in unsuitable conditions for health care. Furthermore, he found “shortage of medicines and medical supplies, with unsafe practices such as the refusal of laboratory sampling tubes”.
It was evidenced that this hospital “does not meet the conditions and requirements for the comprehensive management of hospital waste and the like” and that “there are failures in the completion of medical records.”
On the other hand, Supersalud found a budget deficit of 25.91% at the end of 2019. This, he assured, increases the risk in his financial balance.
Similarly, it revealed that, after crossing the accounts of debtors versus liabilities, he found an imbalance. “The debts of the hospital amount to $ 12,380 million, the accounts receivable are at $ 9,147 million, which leaves a deficit of $ 3,233 million, that is, with the collection of 100% of its debtors, the healthcare center would not have how to cover your liabilities, “Supersalud explained in a statement.

Another of the findings is that the hospital “presents inadequate and ineffective planning in the contracting process,” which, the Supersalud explains, “is reflected in the shortage of medications and supplies.”
The hospital either “verifies that all its collaborators are duly accredited for the exercise of their profession, especially the training certificates in basic and advanced life support”.
Therefore, that body decided to remove the current hospital manager from office and appointed Dr. Albert Giraldo Varón as special interventor agent. Giraldo, according to Supersalud, will have among its functions to present an action plan aimed at correcting the situation in that medical center.
