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.
