Summary: This paper intends in the first place to carry out a theorical description and analysis, in order to establish if in fact there is or there is not a conflict between the right to health, more specifically regarding the access to medications, and the exclusive rights granted by the pharmaceutical patents. In second place, and based on the performed investigation, the different views of the different bodies and relevant figures in the Colombian context are analyzed and compared. In order to finally conclude that although, in Colombia there is more than one position on the subject, the patent system does not affect in a negative way the access to medications, and therefore, the Constitutional right to health.
