‘His condition remains serious and his neurological prognosis is guarded,’ the hospital said.

The hospital treating Miguel Uribe Turbay, the Colombian presidential candidate who was shot during an election rally, has provided an update on the senator’s condition.

“His condition remains serious and his neurological prognosis is guarded,” said the statement released on July 3 by Santa Fe de Bogotá Foundation and signed by Dr. Adolfo Llinás Volpe, the hospital’s medical director.

“He is hemodynamically stable, with permanent mechanical ventilation, under sedation and neuromuscular relaxation, as indicated by his clinical condition,” he added. Uribe is still in the intensive care unit. 

“In recent days, including today, the patient has required scheduled procedures that have allowed his therapeutic needs to be met, with results that have favored his stability and progress.”

The university hospital said further updates on Uribe’s health will be released when there are “relevant clinical changes.”

On June 24, the Santa Fe Foundationreported that Uribe underwent a tracheostomy and gastrostomy “pertinent to the de-escalation of his critical condition, entering a new subacute phase after 16 days since the incident.”

Uribe has been fighting for his life since June 7, after being shot several times in the back during a campaign event ahead of the 2026 presidential elections, while speaking to his supporters in a park in the Fontibón neighborhood of Bogotá.

Police arrested several suspects in connection with the attack on the presidential candidate, including a 15-year-old boy.

On July 1, the senator’s sister, María Carolina Hoyos Turbay, released a statement on her brother’s health.

“Miguel’s progress is absolutely satisfactory, so much that the latest procedures performed on Miguel, as I understand it, would probably have taken three months for a patient with the same characteristics, and they were performed on my brother 20 days after the attack,”she said.
