Pero nadie ha preguntado por qu\u00e9 su antecesora, Beatriz Londo\u00f1o, dur\u00f3 apenas siete meses en el cargo.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfQui\u00e9nes se molestaron con las valientes decisiones de la exministra? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 Londo\u00f1o \u2014experta en salud que se rode\u00f3 de un equipo t\u00e9cnico de lujo\u2014 fue sacada por la puerta de atr\u00e1s en un momento clave para la soluci\u00f3n del mayor problema social del pa\u00eds?<br \/>\nLos medios se han quedado con la versi\u00f3n oficial: un relevo de rutina, un recambio en el equipo. Pero bastan una pizca de suspicacia e informaci\u00f3n para pensar que Londo\u00f1o sali\u00f3 porque pis\u00f3 poderosos callos.<br \/>\nLos primeros adoloridos fueron las farmac\u00e9uticas internacionales. Desde el ministerio de Juan Luis Londo\u00f1o, hace una d\u00e9cada, nadie hab\u00eda tenido la independencia, honestidad y coraje para hacer lo que los estudios t\u00e9cnicos recomendaban para detener el desangre financiero del sistema: ponerles coto a los precios astron\u00f3micos que cobran esas compa\u00f1\u00edas, que est\u00e1n muy por encima de los precios de pa\u00edses vecinos e incluso de pa\u00edses como Espa\u00f1a. Por ejemplo, cuando se comparan los precios colombianos y espa\u00f1oles de los medicamentos biotecnol\u00f3gicos (los m\u00e1s recobrados al Fosyga), se ve que el Estado pag\u00f3 un sobreprecio de $668.431 millones entre 2008 y 2011, seg\u00fan cifras del Observatorio del Medicamento.<br \/>\nPara acabar el despilfarro, como viceministra, Londo\u00f1o comenz\u00f3 por imponer precios m\u00e1ximos de recobro e incorpor\u00f3 en el POS algunos de los medicamentos m\u00e1s demandados. Ya como titular, impuls\u00f3 el Conpes sobre pol\u00edtica farmac\u00e9utica y dej\u00f3 listo un decreto sobre biotecnol\u00f3gicos que ofrece una soluci\u00f3n intermedia entre los intereses de los productores internacionales y los de los fabricantes de gen\u00e9ricos. En estos temas hay tanto dinero en juego, que el costo pol\u00edtico de enfrentar a la agresiva industria internacional puede ser prohibitivo: el Conpes que promueve el uso de gen\u00e9ricos fue aprobado en la v\u00edspera de la salida de la exministra, y el de biotecnol\u00f3gicos qued\u00f3 pendiente.<br \/>\nSi el negocio de las farmac\u00e9uticas multinacionales se volv\u00eda menos jugoso con Londo\u00f1o, el de las EPS corr\u00eda serio peligro. La ministra hab\u00eda concluido, como muchos t\u00e9cnicos, que hab\u00eda demasiadas EPS peque\u00f1as e ineficaces. Tambi\u00e9n ten\u00eda claros los desmanes que hab\u00edan cometido muchas en el carrusel de corrupci\u00f3n de la salud. Por ello, hab\u00eda anunciado medidas para mantener s\u00f3lo las EPS viables y robustecer el sistema de vigilancia. No hay que ser un te\u00f3rico de la conspiraci\u00f3n para saber que el poderoso lobby de las EPS no estaba complacido.<br \/>\nDel otro lado del espectro econ\u00f3mico e ideol\u00f3gico tambi\u00e9n se palpaban resentidos callos. Algunas asociaciones de m\u00e9dicos pidieron cambiar el actual sistema por otro sin intermediarios ni restricciones, en el que desaparezcan las EPS privadas y no haya l\u00edmite a lo que pueden recetar los galenos. No tuvieron suerte con la exministra, que hizo la pregunta obvia sobre c\u00f3mo se financiar\u00eda semejante sistema.<br \/>\nLos \u00fanicos que le pidieron al presidente mantener a Londo\u00f1o en el cargo fueron los actores m\u00e1s pobres: los hospitales p\u00fablicos. Pero los hospitales y sus pacientes no tienen un lobby tan poderoso como el de los antagonistas que fue coleccionando la funcionaria.<br \/>\nEsa es la lecci\u00f3n que Londo\u00f1o le deja a su sucesor. Para conjurar la crisis de la salud no bastan buenas propuestas t\u00e9cnicas, hace falta enfrentar los intereses econ\u00f3micos y pol\u00edticos que se han tomado el sistema de salud.<br \/>\nAlejandro Gaviria tiene todas las credenciales t\u00e9cnicas para continuar la labor, y comenz\u00f3 con pie derecho al darle prioridad al flujo de recursos para los hospitales p\u00fablicos. Habr\u00e1 que acompa\u00f1ar su gesti\u00f3n para que no asuma solo el costo de las decisiones duras que le esperan, como la firma del decreto sobre medicamentos biotecnol\u00f3gicos que Londo\u00f1o dej\u00f3 sobre su escritorio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The appointment of Alejandro Gaviria as the minister of health has been rightly celebrated.
