When does a tutela action for protection in health care proceed?

The tutela action proceeds when there is a need for immediate protection of fundamental rights in the face of action or omission of an authority or private individuals in the cases provided for, for example, EPS or IPS. The tutela action must demonstrate that there is a violation or threat to fundamental rights, such as the denial of health services, unjustified delays, interruption of treatment, discriminatory barriers, and demonstrate the impact on dignified life, integrity, physical and mental health.
