The Emergencies in Bogota

Sadly in this city we can see day by day how the people are not having a good attention from the health system. We have seen people dying outside the hospitals in the street because the lack of resources and the amount of people that needs attention in emergencies at all the hours of the day.

The reason of all this problems is maybe that the EPS are constantly affilianting persons just for money and they don't

realize that they can't offer the service to all of them,

They should use the money to build more health centers, and to hire more staff and to be prepare for the regular emergencies because they must have enough capacity to control the differents situations.

Personally we are afraid to think about what will happen if somethings serious like a natural disaster take place in our city because we will die so fast for the overcrowding of the situation.

In the picture above we can see a protest march where two guys are dressed like skeletons stand for the death and a women who could be pregnant and try to get attention showing her membership papers.
