Fundación Social Colombiana de Salud- Colsalud
Fundación Colsalud is a Pereira-based organization primarily focused on providing comprehensive care for vulnerable populations.
Its mission focuses on empowering the family, as the fundamental unit of society, to drive changes toward a better quality of life through comprehensive care grounded in institutional and interdisciplinary partnerships. Specifically, they work toward the well-being of children and youth with cognitive and sensory disabilities.
The foundation’s differential approach is applied as an operational framework that recognizes individual diversities and social inequities to guarantee fundamental rights. Its core pillars include:
- Recognition of Specific Needs: Personalized care tailored to age, gender, and specific types of disability.
- Elimination of Barriers: Actions directed at removing physical, pedagogical, and social obstacles that limit the development of individuals with disabilities.
- Social Inclusion: Promotion of equity and social justice to prevent the marginalization of the communities they serve.
