Violence generated by the ongoing conflict presents a major public health concern in Colombia, and not enough priority is placed upon dealing with the medical consequences of this chronic reality. Of greatest concern is the almost complete absence of mental health services. As a consequence thousands deal with mental trauma in their lives and have no hope for assitance. One of the greatest consequences on the health of those caught up in Colombia's conflict is receiving the least attention and priority by the Government and other agencies.
