Bogotá ha tenido que cubrir las deudas de la EPS en la ciudad para garantizar la prestación de salud y el pago al personal médico
El no pago de las Entidades Promotoras de Salud (EPS) en Bogotá afecta el flujo de caja de clínicas y hospitales, el pago oportuno del personal médico, proveedores y la adquisición de insumos y medicamentos, necesarios para tratar a los ciudadanos.
TL;DR
- Unpaid debts from EPS are negatively affecting Bogotá's clinics and hospitals, impacting cash flow, medical staff payments, and the procurement of medical supplies.
- The city government has had to use its own resources to cover the debt owed by EPS, which reached 618.604 billion COP by October 2025, a 54% increase from December 2024.
- Between 2024 and 2025, EPS failed to pay over 200 billion COP to service providers, with 45% of this debt (280.479 billion COP) originating from intervened EPS.
- The city has invested in strengthening the hospital network by improving service delivery, acquiring new equipment, and upgrading infrastructure.
- In 2025, 218 billion COP was allocated to cover the debt, adding to the 409 billion COP invested in 2024, to ensure adequate healthcare for citizens.
- The Subred Centro-Oriente, which was intervened, received an injection of 143 billion COP to address financial deficits and ensure timely payments to its 5,100 collaborators.
- The Subred Centro-Oriente is focusing on intelligent austerity, cost control, developing internal capabilities, and implementing low to medium complexity technology to boost services and revenue.
