Abstract
In the group of social, economic and cultural rights, the Colombian
regulatory progress in health has been the most prominent in the world
in recent decades. The Constitutional Court, bypassing the constitutional
nature of these rights, recognized in some cases the provision
of health as an individual right, protected as a fundamental right for
writ instance. For the government and a sector of the doctrine, this has
generated funding problems and disorder in the structure of the social
security system, but for the other part of this doctrine is but a logical
consequence of the new constitutionalism. Despite all these efforts and
structural developments in jurisprudence, the state has failed to consolidate
protection to ensure access and quality of health services, besides
comprehensive protection jurisprudence remains fragile and uncertain.
