Resumen

The article analyzes the process of medical and legislative objectification of diseases in Colombia. Based on the study of medical research projects and legislative and governmental sources, it concludes that a great many Colombian doctors and politicians were unaware of the health/disease conditions of workers, and the advances in occupational medicine were still very limited. Consequently, legislators seem to have considered it unnecessary to grant legal recognition to occupational diseases, thus postponing workers' right to get sick until 1946, despite the recommendations of the International Labor Organization.
