Abstract

In Colombia, the General Health System can currently demonstrate the lack of consultation and information mechanisms that can facilitate access to health services for people with disabilities. On the other hand, health is a fundamental right that must be provided to people in a timely and effective manner with equal conditions.

The National Disability System is one of the entities that is responsible for gathering standards, activities, resources, programs and institutions that allow the realization of the general principles that are taken into account in the law 1145 of July 10, 2007.

The SND is made up of 4 levels. The first is the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, which is a governing body, the National Disability Council, which is in charge of consulting, advising and verifying, monitoring and evaluating the public policy system. National Disability The Departmental and District Disability Committees ensure that the National Disability Public Policy is fulfilled in the Colombian territory and, finally, the Municipal and Local Disability Committees are those that are in charge of the construction and monitoring of the public disability policy
