El informe detalla los esfuerzos de LHSS desde 2020 hasta 2023 en colaboración con el Gobierno de Colombia para mejorar la prestación de servicios de salud a las poblaciones migrantes, con un enfoque en la sostenibilidad financiera. Al implementar la Guía de Eficiencia Técnica de Sistemas de Salud (GET) de USAID, el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social, el Departamento Nacional de Planeación y LHSS, se buscó mejorar la eficiencia en la asignación de recursos dentro del sector salud. La GET, que incluye cuatro grupos analíticos tradicionales—prestación de servicios, fuerza laboral en salud, productos farmacéuticos y financiamiento y gobernanza—se amplió para incluir un quinto grupo, Sistemas de Información, para satisfacer las necesidades específicas de Colombia. LHSS adaptó la guía mediante análisis de expertos y discusiones participativas con actores clave para identificar ineficiencias y proponer recomendaciones prácticas. El informe detalla las principales estrategias recomendadas para abordar estas ineficiencias y mejorar la capacidad del sistema de salud para integrar a la población migrante venezolana.
