โ€˜His condition remains serious and his neurological prognosis is guarded,โ€™ 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 senatorโ€™s condition.

โ€œHis condition remains serious and his neurological prognosis is guarded,โ€ said the statement released on July 3 by Santa Fe de Bogotรก Foundation and signed by Dr. Adolfo Llinรกs Volpe, the hospitalโ€™s medical director.

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

โ€œIn 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.โ€

The university hospital said further updates on Uribeโ€™s health will be released when there are โ€œrelevant clinical changes.โ€

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

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 Fontibรณn neighborhood of Bogotรก.

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

On July 1, the senatorโ€™s sister, Marรญa Carolina Hoyos Turbay, released a statement on her brotherโ€™s health.

โ€œMiguelโ€™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,โ€she said.
