Mothers chain themselves in protest at Emssanar EPS in Cali

Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Caregiver mothers of patients with orphan diseases remain chained at the Emssanar EPS headquarters in Cali to demand treatments and medications.

The protesters began the demonstration on July 8, 2026, and by July 9 had already exceeded 24 hours without receiving a response. They denounce delays in medication delivery, barriers in service provision, and delays in food support for families of patients who require permanent care.

The mothers say they have been making requests for several months and that the lack of solutions led them to remain inside the facilities. In videos released, they explain that they seek to guarantee the continuity of their children's treatments.

So far the EPS has not issued a response that resolves the claims raised by the caregivers.
