This national study, one of 25 funded by Minciencias' Mincientación competition, is analysing the response of the Colombian health system to the Covid- 19 pandemic.
Drawing on qualitative case studies of three local health systems within the country, the study aims to collect information on capacity “bottlenecks” as well as successful practices and forms of innovation that have emerged locally, which have the potential for being 'scaled up' across Colombia's health services.
The emerging findings will be shared among various actors in the system in order to inform healthcare planning in response to Covid-19 and future pandemics.
Our multidisciplinary team consists of researchers with diverse backgrounds - including doctors, anthropologists, and business scholars - united by their passion to develop organisational lessons based on qualitative research that can inform the health system response to Covid-19 in Colombia.
