- Characterization of the number, distribution and pertinence of pediatricians in Colombia. 2017 Mario Hernández-Álvarez Lorena Mesa-Melgarejo Fernando Galván-Villamarín Clemencia Mayorga Marcela Vega Medicina Pediatrics Child Health Human Resources (MeSH) Introduction: Health human resources estimation and planning in the country require analyzing the relationship between socio-demographic and epidemiological aspects of the population and the supply of health services in different territories.Objective: To analyze the number, distribution and pertinence of pediatricians in Colombia.Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study. Data obtained from different sources were aggregated and refined to obtain a single database that allowed conducting an analysis of the number and distribution of pediatricians in Colombia and, this way, make an approximation of the census of Colombian pediatricians.Results: By 2017, there were 3 398 pediatricians in Colombia. Most pediatricians worked in Bogotá D.C. (35.96%) and in the departments of Antioquia (12.30%) and Valle del Cauca (9.59%). In contrast, in the departments of Vichada and Vaupés, there were no pediatricians and this service was not available.Conclusion: The distribution of pediatricians in Colombia depends more on the dynamics of healthcare service providers than on the health care needs of children in the different regions of the country. Therefore, the implementation of new policies aiming at achieving a better distribution of the available resources is required to strengthen local authorities and to regulate the provision of pediatric care services throughout the country according to the multiple health needs of each region. 2020 artículo científico 2357-3848 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576366658002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576366658002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576366658002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576366658002/576366658002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576366658002/movil 10.15446/revfacmed.v68n4.77099 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5763 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de la Facultad de Medicina (Colombia) Num.4 Vol.68
