Alert, the elderly do not have access to senior benefits! We were investigating in Icononzo, Tolima, and we met some elderly people, who told us about their problems: high Sisbén score, lack of access to health services, and, among others, the most serious, they end up alone and abandoned in the nursing home. It would be great if the territorial entities would pay more attention to them and thus give all the elderly the benefits they deserve. We will keep you informed.
