What ESE HOSPITAL LOCAL DE CALAMAR does

ESE Hospital Local De Calamar is a public healthcare institution (Empresa Social del Estado, or ESE) owned by the municipal government of Calamar in the department of Bolívar, Colombia. It operates as a low-complexity hospital (baja complejidad) within the country's universal health system (Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud, SGSSS), providing general medical services, maternal-perinatal care through the RIAMP program, differential care for vulnerable populations (children, elderly, persons with disabilities), and patient safety services from a single facility at Carrera 2 No 1 - 78, Calamar. The institution is staffed by 24 employees and funded through capitation payments (UPC) from EPS-managed health regimes (contributory and subsidized), government subsidies via ADRES, and municipal budget allocations. Its Vision 2030 articulates an aspiration to become a reference center for the integrated health networks spanning Atlántico, Magdalena, and Bolívar departments. The hospital operates on standard healthcare information systems connected to the national Mi Colombia Digital government portal, with no proprietary technology stack disclosed.

The customer base is the resident population of the municipality of Calamar, accessed through affiliation with any EPS operating under the SGSSS. Services covered under the PBS (Plan de Beneficios en Salud) are provided at no direct cost to affiliated patients. Distribution is direct from the single physical facility, with no alternative channels. The hospital publishes annual financial statements, accountability reports (Rendición de Cuentas), and other transparency instruments as required of Colombian public entities, and it participates in formal citizen engagement mechanisms including participatory budgeting, citizen consultation, and social control. The institution is operationally active, with website updates and plan publications continuing through 2026.
