"El negocio está en los hospitales", Ministro de Salud Guillermo Jaramillo

“El negocio está en los hospitales”, Ministro de Salud Guillermo Jaramillo

En la tarde de este viernes 26 de abril, en las instalaciones de Compensar en Bogotá, se desarrolló un foro sobre las reformas del gobierno Petro. El encuentro fue organizado por el movimiento ‘En Marcha’, liderado por Juan Fernando Cristo. El Ministro de salud, Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, participó como uno de los panelistas y dijo que, aunque no quería estar en ese sitio, aceptó asistir por el respeto y amistad que tiene hacia Cristo.

Una vez inició la discusión, en la que también estuvo Alejandro Gaviria (exministro del gobierno Petro) y Carmen Eugenia Dávila (exdirectora ejecutiva de GestarSalud), el ministro hizo referencia a que en 2022 representantes gubernamentales de todos los niveles asistieron a la inauguración del Centro de Investigación para el Cáncer CTIC (que pertenece a Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo).

“Nos volvimos un sistema netamente curativo y el negocio está en esos hospitales que les mostré (haciendo referencia al CTIC). Por ejemplo, radiación, quimioterapia, radioterapia, cirugías, operaciones radicales, limpieza de ganglios linfáticos y muchas mujeres terminan mal después de todo eso. Pero nos han dicho que este era el mejor sistema del mundo”, aseveró Jaramillo.

Más adelante, el ministro Jaramillo dio a entender que se refería a que sin atención primaria, se llega a niveles de enfermedad muy altos y que por eso hay un negocio para los grandes hospitales del país.

Sin embargo, en medio de la discusión hubo respuesta sobre estas declaraciones de Jaramillo. Lo hizo el Exministro Alejandro Gaviria, quien ha sido una de las voces más críticas del modelo de salud que plantea el gobierno actual para Colombia y esa fue una de las razones de su salida del gabinete de Gustavo Petro.

“Detrás de esto hay una gran falacia, que vamos a hacer mamografías y eso nos va evitar llegar al hospital. A mí me parece paradójico que se presente un hospital de cáncer y se diga que ese es el problema ¿No es una ventaja del sistema de salud colombiano que ese hospital, uno de los mejores de América Latina, esté abierto para todos los estratos? ¿Queremos volver a un sistema segregado? Todo por un capricho y una obsesión ideológica. Eso para mí no tiene sentido”, dijo Gaviria.

La discusión siguió en el foro tocado temas como la suficiencia de la UPC y las acciones que ha adoptado el gobierno para mejorar la situación que atraviesa el sistema de salud. Pese a la diferencia de opiniones, el panel terminó con un abrazo entre el ministro Guillermo Jaramillo y Alejandro Gaviria.
