Currently approximately
80 percent of the Colombian population is covered by health insurance, and the
government of Colombia sees universal health insurance coverage as a goal.
The country’s healthcare infrastructure is adequate in the larger urban areas, but is
in need of modernization. The healthcare system is complex, and coverage is not
yet universal. Currently the Colombian Congress is working to develop an updated
health care reform law, which they expect would modernize the system.
