Abstract

Esta investigación tiene por objeto determinar la situación actual de la oferta de servicios de salud en Colombia, identificando diferencias entre regiones, regímenes y naturaleza jurídica de los prestadores. De los 1.124 municipios del país, 45% solo cuenta con IPS públicas de baja y mediana complejidad y ofrece, en promedio, 18 de los 234 distintos servicios de salud disponibles. De hecho, 76% de los departamentos colombianos ofrece apenas entre 11 y 40 servicios. Variables como los costos de viaje, la frecuencia con que se requieren los servicios y la capacidad de los prestadores de atender las urgencias deben considerarse cuando se evalúa la relación entre la distribución de los servicios a lo largo del territorio nacional y la calidad de la atención en salud.
