La responsabilidad del estado en la actividad ginecobstetra en Colombia

Abstract

Given the repeated cases denounced before the media, society and national judicial entities, the joint importance and need to carry out an investigation regarding the issue of medical responsibility in Colombia could not be ignored, but especially in the OB / GYN activity, especially when not only the health of pregnant mothers but of their own child is affected, by serious situations that alter their integrity and well-being, which should be provided in a responsible manner by local health agencies and those who comply administrative functions and carry out medical work in the national territory. It is not possible then, to ignore the importance and relevance of the subject, even more so when the cases for complaints have not been solved as promptly as they should, in addition to seeking to compensate for the damage caused by the health organizations that are in charge of responsible management. of the provision of health services for many people, but especially that provided to pregnant mothers. In a certain way, the Colombian state has neglected the regulatory system that governs the issue of medical and state responsibility in the event of repeated cases of affectation of the services of pregnant mothers, when their state of health has been affected as well as that of her baby, each time increasing the cases of loss due to poor care and infrastructure, the lack of experience and training of health professionals, as well as mechanisms that lead to prosecution of the parties involved and responsible. Unfortunately, the issue of state responsibility in OB / GYN activity in Colombia, however it should be taken as a relevant aspect by the convergence of countless rights, has failed to study, develop and consolidate a true regulatory compendium that will revolutionize and reform the administrative and criminal procedures applicable in such a case, seeking not only compensation for damage, but the restitution of rights of victims and their families.
