This conference discusses the challenges, obstacles, and main achievements of Colombia's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A synthesis of the experience is presented, from which lessons are proposed for other low- and middle-income countries aimed at strengthening the response to new pandemics and public health crises. At the end, learnings are proposed for the teaching and practice of global public health.
