An interdisciplinary team from the Observatory of the Fundamental Right to Health of the Personería de Medellín visited the facilities where the Pre-Hospital Care (APH) program is coordinated, operated by the ESE Metrosalud.
This, after complaints received in which they alert irregularities in the operation of the program.
Mayelis De La Rosa Madrid, leader of the Health Observatory, indicated that the status of the ambulances and the contractual status of the assigned personnel were verified.
“Random reviews were carried out on five of the ambulances in charge of attending emergencies in Medellín, which were located at the Campo Valdés and Libertadores fire stations. On that visit some ambulances that do not meet the minimum technical conditions for their proper functioning were evidencedFor example, some were without a sphygmomanometer for the adult population or pediatric patients, the aspirator was not working, the use of oxygen was disabled due to damage to the flowmeter, the air conditioning was not working, etc.”, the official said.

Some were without a blood pressure monitor for the adult population or pediatric patients, the aspirator was not working and the use of oxygen was disabled due to damage to the flowmeter.
This situation, he added, forced vehicles that were provisionally out of service since 2021 to be put into operation for failing to comply with the regulations.
De la Rosa added that in the contractual review between the ESE Metrosalud and the Tranvital SAS company, some alleged irregularities were evidenced, such as: officials working without signed contracts and whose hiring is carried out month by month, going from a contract for the provision of services to a union .
This company is also in charge preventive and corrective maintenance of these vehiclesyes
“The Personería de Medellín will initiate a preliminary investigation in order to review the contracting of the operator TRANVITAL SAS and its compliance with the contractual obligations,” the official reported.
