(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2023) Meneses Mosquera, Alicia
Pediatric cancer, one of the leading causes of mortality among children and adolescents globally, has seen improvements in survival rates due to advancements in diagnosis and treatment, according to the WHO. The study aims to analyze the comprehensive care of pediatric cancer in Popayán, with a focus on mapping the current regulations in Colombia on this matter. It addresses the identification and tracking of regulations related to pediatric cancer care, as well as the functioning of the healthcare system in these cases and governmental progress in information and coverage. The research also delves into the analysis of legal decisions related to pediatric cancer cases, seeking to understand how the General System of Social Security in Health (SGSSS) handles these cases and what recurring issues exist. Finally, an assessment is made to determine if Popayán has the necessary conditions, both in hospital facilities and in local and national regulations, to effectively address cancer cases, especially in children. This is considered a highly complex health issue that requires prompt treatment and efficiency from local health institutions.
