After the unfortunate case of Kevin Acosta, the 7-year-old boy whose death became the symbol of the health crisis in Colombia, it was learned that his cousin, Eithan Sebastián, is experiencing his own ordeal today.

At just two years old, this baby who suffers from severe hemophilia A, completes more than two months without receiving the treatment that keeps him alive, due to alleged non-compliance with the New EPS.

History repeats itself in an almost identical way: Eithan’s mother, Mayerly, reported that since December 18, the IPS Medicarte stopped delivering the drugs after the termination of a contract with the aforementioned health promotion entity, leaving the minor in a situation of extreme vulnerability.

Administrative indolence has put an unattainable price on little Eithan’s life, as his monthly treatment amounts to $40 million pesos, a sum that his family cannot afford.

This drama is not limited to a single home; There are four members of this family who suffer from the same disease and who remain unprotected under the impassive gaze of the system. While the national government and the Ministry of Health have tried to justify Kevin’s death as a lack of prevention due to “getting on a bicycle,” the family responds that the real culprit is the lack of medication, the same lack that today has the future of little Eithan Sebastián in check.

For the baby’s parents, it is impossible to keep it “under lock and key” to avoid any setbacks, when the true solution lies in the timely delivery of the supplies that the State is obliged to guarantee.
