Colombia Constitutional Court Sets Parameters for 2027 UPC Calculation

Colombia's Constitutional Court has issued guidelines for the government's calculation of the 2027 Unidad de Pago por Capitación (UPC), the per-capita payment for the health system. The ruling constrains the executive's discretion in setting the UPC, a politically sensitive issue given ongoing health sector financing disputes. The decision's impact on system solvency and government fiscal policy remains to be seen.
