The case - by - provider ratio was calculated based on the cancer incidence estimated for Colombia by the National Cancer Institute.Results: Were identified 1,780 qualified oncology health services in the country related to specialties for providing care to cancer patients. Twenty five providers nationwide had all three qualified services: chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Nearly 50% of the offer was concentrated in Bogotá, Antioquia and Valle del Cauca. Putumayo and the Amazonas group departments, with the exception of Vaupés, did not show any oncological services. Healthcare Providers were responsible for 87.8%, and independent professionals provided 12.2%. Outpatient services were 66.7% of oncology services, 17.4% was diagnostic support services and therapeutic complementation, and 15.9% was surgical services. 87.9% of the oncological service offer in Colombia takes place in the private sector.Conclusions: The ratio between the service groups is asymmetric, with few providers jointly offering the basic services for oncology treatment, which reflects how provision is fragmented. It is necessary to redefine the concept of oncology service under a comprehensive care approach and the importance of enabling functional units, comprehensive treatment centers and other forms of care. 2018 artículo científico 0120-8322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28355922011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922011/28355922011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/283/28355922011/movil 10.25100/cm.v49i1.3620 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=283 Colombia Médica application/pdf Universidad del Valle Colombia Médica (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.49 |
