Colombia’s life expectancy grew from 69 years in 1990 to 77 years by 2019, driven by improvements in healthcare access and reductions in infant mortality. Key health reforms in the 1990s, including universal healthcare, contributed significantly. Gains slowed in the 2010s as efforts focused on addressing non-communicable diseases and health disparities. Recent fluctuations reflect economic and social challenges, but ongoing public health investments are expected to stabilize gains.
