The General Health Social Security System, known in Colombia as "Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS)," looks to assure all Colombians with basic health services. This system is divided into a contributive program mandatory for all individuals earning at least a minimum wage, and a subsidized program for the lower income population, including the indigent population.
