Colombia Fomag Approves COP 859B Transfer to Cover Teacher Health Deficit

Colombia's Fomag (Fondo de Prestaciones Sociales del Magisterio) approved a COP 859 billion transfer to partially cover a COP 2.7 trillion deficit in teacher health funding for 2026, ensuring continuity of care for over 330,000 teachers and beneficiaries. The move addresses a fiscal shortfall but leaves a significant gap, raising uncertainty about future funding and service quality.
