Senator, victim of attack in Colombia, is still in critical condition

Bogota, Jun 17 (Prensa Latina) The health condition of senator and presidential candidate for the Colombian Democratic Center party, Miguel Uribe, remains critically ill with a reserved prognosis, the health center where he remains hospitalized informed on Tuesday.

In its most recent report, the Santa Fe Foundation reiterated that the patient remains in the intensive care unit, receiving multidisciplinary management, hemodynamic, and neurological support and monitoring.

The health institution announced on Monday afternoon that the congressman’s health condition was “extremely critical, characterized by persistent cerebral edema and difficult-to-control intracerebral bleeding.”

The statement added that his condition was “extremely serious” and he would be monitored continuously.

On Monday morning, Uribe required transfer to the operating room for emergency neurosurgery due to clinical and imaging evidence of acute intracerebral bleeding.

The 39-year-old legislator was shot three times while speaking at an event held in a park in Fontibon, west of Bogota, on Saturday, June 7.
