Colombia UPC 2026 adjustment to create $3.7T deficit, warns Andi

Colombia's National Business Association (Andi) warns that the proposed 2026 UPC (health unit payment) adjustment will leave a $3.7 trillion deficit in the health system, based on a safeguard analysis considering $72.4 trillion total, with $49.9 trillion direct from the Nation. The warning signals fiscal pressure on Colombia's public finances and potential strain on the health sector, though the figure is an estimate and subject to government final decision.
