On November 13, 2026, the CEGSS management and technical team held a meeting with the Indigenous Peoples and Interculturality Unit of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS) at the ministry’s headquarters.

During the meeting, the CEGSS presented the citizen monitoring work that it carries out—in collaboration with REDC-SALUD—in low-, medium-, and high-complexity health services across five departments, with an emphasis on culturally appropriate care. They also shared information on processes for supporting patients, citizen oversight, coordination with local authorities, and follow-up on complaints related to violations of the right to health.

For its part, the Indigenous Peoples and Interculturality Unit shared information about the internal monitoring it conducts to promote high-quality, culturally appropriate health services. It also recognized the importance of coordinated efforts between the CEGSS and REDC-SALUD to strengthen public health services in the territories.

As agreed, the issues discussed will be followed up on prior to the review of the submitted reports.

Dialogue and coordination between public institutions and community organizations are essential for making progress toward more accessible, dignified, and culturally appropriate health services.
