“…Effective decision-making in public policy necessitates transparent, reliable governance that can adeptly respond to changing circumstances while ensuring equity across the population. (13) In the context of Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) like Colombia, substantial documented de ciencies in decision-making processes have led to the characterization of those processes as arbitrary, occasionally contradictory, and often unrealistic.

This subjective decisionmaking approach not only carries the potential for negative impacts on population health outcomes, resulting in unintended harms, but also leads to the unnecessary waste of resources.…”
