The medical confession of the new comptroller general, Jorge Laverde

The newly appointed General Comptroller of Colombia, Jorge Laverde, has confessed to suffering from chronic sleep apnea, a condition where breathing becomes interrupted or very shallow during sleep. In an interview with SEMANA, he explained that he uses a CPAP device, which includes a mask and requires charging. He revealed that he was diagnosed five years ago due to constant irritation and poor sleep, experiencing up to 56 apneas per minute. He mentioned that he sometimes needs to get up to drink water, and his wife also suffers from the same condition. Both had to navigate the healthcare sector's crisis to obtain the necessary machines. They reported sleeping together with the devices, which improved their relationship by preventing disturbances.
