The case had already been reported to Colombia’s Health Superintendency, but the couple says nothing changed. Sura responded with a public apology, although so far it has not confirmed any adjustments to its care protocol.

Meanwhile, Santiago and his baby are still waiting for the healthcare system to catch up with science and the law.
