Message from the Director

As of October 1, 2022, I have the honor of directing the Pablo Tobón Uribe Hospital, an institution that I carry in my heart and of which I have been a part for 28 years. The institutional purpose that excites us is to serve a community that in times of vulnerability needs us.

We are a reference for having good quality and safety practices, we support continuous and advanced training of our employees to strengthen technical, administrative and service skills, in order to provide excellent care and a memorable service experience. In addition, through innovation and research, we always seek to generate new knowledge.

The Hospital has a special interest in ensuring the welfare of its employees, "caring for those who care". As a Family-Responsible Institution (efr), we have numerous strategies that allow us to reconcile work and family life.

One of our fundamental values is compassion, which refers to the feeling of suffering and vulnerability of others, and drives us to accompany, welcome, understand and relieve.

We implement models of continuous improvement, which through national and international certifications and accreditations, allow us to provide a quality and safe service, both to the patient and to our collaborators and the environment.

The Hospital is a socially responsible company: we have a magnificent team that not only supports the needs of our patients, but also transcends to the local and national level. Making all these purposes a reality will allow us to move forward and continue to be the Hospital with Soul.

General Director
