Hospital Local de Turbaco announced an allocation of $939,594,041 on October 27, 2026, to pay labor claims owed to 49 current and former employees. The decision applied to the first group prioritized as part of the ESE’s financial recovery process.
Some of those obligations had been outstanding for more than 15 years. The ESE presented the funds as a first step toward settling those commitments, not as payment of all its labor debt.
An initial group of current and former employees
The measure included both people still employed at the hospital and those whose employment had already ended. The announced amount was intended for the entire group of 49 prioritized recipients.
The Mayor’s Office and ESE management announced the measure as a result of their joint work to organize the hospital’s finances and address outstanding obligations to its staff.
The financial recovery behind the announcement
Director Nasly Camacho Rosso said that addressing these long-standing commitments was part of the ESE’s recovery. She said the hospital was seeking greater financial stability to meet its responsibilities to its workers and the community.
Mayor Claudia Espinosa Puello highlighted at the time the long wait endured by current and former employees. She also linked the financial effort to strengthening the municipality’s public health network.
