About this statute

This preamble says Colombia’s public force is made up exclusively of the Military Forces and the National Police, and explains that the law reorganizes the health system for those bodies and certain personnel under Decree-Law 1214 of 1990. The SSMP is made up of the listed defense and police health bodies, plus the system’s affiliates and beneficiaries. The SSMP’s purpose is to provide comprehensive health services for affiliated personnel and beneficiaries, plus health services tied to military and police operations. Esta disposición define la sanidad, para efectos de la ley, como un servicio público esencial de la logística militar y policial. This article sets principles for the SSMP, including rational use of resources, mandatory affiliation, equal access, periodic reporting, integrated care, no restrictions for preexisting conditions, decentralized administration, separate handling of health funds, and priority care for affiliates and beneficiaries.
