TL;DR
- The Colombian government is implementing health system changes via decrees and administrative actions after reform bills failed in Congress.
- Key implemented changes include the deployment of Basic Health Teams (EBS) and the intervention of seven EPS entities.

- Over 11,000 EBS are reportedly operating with significant investment, but implementation data and results are unclear.
- Seven EPS, now under government administration, collectively serve 43.5% of the total population.
- Tutela claims (lawsuits for service access barriers) have increased in most intervened EPS, with Savia Salud and Nueva EPS showing significant rises.
- A decree establishing a preventive, predictive, and resolutive health model was suspended by the Council of State for exceeding constitutional and legal boundaries.
