Law 91 of 1989 created the Teachers' Social Benefits Fund as a national account to manage the social security resources of affiliated teachers, which includes the provision of health services and the payment of their economic benefits. It also establishes that the Fund must be administered by a fiduciary entity.
The provision of medical and healthcare services is carried out through contracts with health entities in accordance with the instructions issued by the Fund's Board of Directors . This system is exempt from the Social Security System under Law 100 of 1993.
