Statute overview

About this statute

This is the opening text of Law 2026 of 2020, stating its title and that the Congress of Colombia decrees it. This law aims to protect the fundamental right to health of minors under 18 with a cancer diagnosis or suspected cancer, make their comprehensive care a priority, ensure effective access to pediatric oncology health services, and strengthen their social support. Los prestadores de servicios de salud para menores con cáncer tienen prioridad en el pago de sus facturas, y las EAPB deben considerar esa prioridad y el giro directo en su contratación. Children with cancer must receive integral, priority, continuous care. Health authorities must regulate a cancer-care database for minors, doctors must add suspected cases with parental/legal authorization, and insurers/providers cannot require extra authorization for integral care.
