Álvaro Arturo Benítez

Álvaro Arturo Benítez is the head of the Emergency Area at the Ingavi Surgical Specialties Hospital under the Instituto de Previsión Social (IPS). He recently made headlines for signing a directive that severely restricts access to critical diagnostic studies, such as CT scans and echocardiograms, for outpatient patients. This decision has drawn significant criticism from insured individuals who are concerned about the limitations imposed on social security services, raising questions about its impact on patient care.
