Lucas Murillo is a child from Cúcuta who suffers from severe congenital heart disease and asked Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella for a heart transplant. The boy made headlines by making this public request to the head of state.
The New Health Promoting Entity responded within hours after a full year of waiting and bureaucracy. The quick response came after the case gained visibility through the request made to the president.
The article does not provide more details about Lucas's current health status or about the progress of the transplant process.
