La Silla VacíaIndependentConservativeFactual 85Objective 8023 days agoAna María Vesga Gaviria, una abogada con formación en la Universidad de los Andes y especialización en economía de la salud, ha sido nombrada ministra de Salud y Protección Social del gobierno de Abelardo De la Espriella, elegido en 2026. Vesga tiene una trayectoria profesional en el sector privado de la salud, siendo presidenta ejecutiva de la Asociación Colombiana de Empresas de Medicina Integral (Acemi). Su llegada al ministerio ocurre en un contexto de crisis en el sistema de salud colombiano, y su nombramiento fue anunciado mediante un video generado con inteligencia artificial. Vesga criticó duramente el manejo de la crisis sanitaria bajo el anterior gobierno de Gustavo Petro, afirmando que las medidas tomadas llevaron a la quiebra de algunas EPS. Durante la campaña electoral, no apoyó públicamente a ningún candidato, pero coincidió con De la Espriella en la necesidad de un 'plan de choque' para mejorar el sistema. Sin embargo, difiere con él sobre cómo manejar las EPS, proponiendo estabilizarlas en lugar de liquidarlas. Su nombramiento fue bien recibido por varios sectores del ámbito médico y farmacéutico, aunque también enfrentó críticas de algunos analistas.
