Despite this, on the night of Monday February 22, Noticias Caracol reported that The singer will be transferred to Medellín, where they would perform this surgery.

On Monday morning, relatives of Jorge Oñate confirmed to Blu Radio that the master of the vallenato genre had not been operated on the pancreas, but they confirmed that due to the pancreatitis the surgery was being contemplated by the singer’s doctors.

In addition, Romero also confirmed that Oñate’s health status is stable and that The possibility of surgery on the pancreas is known only to the doctors who attend to the valnatero.

“Jorge Oñate’s treatment was changed because he had a fever due to an infection that we do not know, the doctors are doing the pertinent tests, but thank God he is stable. A doctor friend of the family traveled from another city to see him but it’s not about looking for outside doctors or anything like that. The teacher is receiving his treatment at the Institute,” said Romero.

Finally, to the magazine Semana, the representative of the ‘Jilguero de América’ assured that the artist’s followers are very concerned about his state of health and that those close to Oñate cling to faith and patience to overcome uncertainty.

Regarding the singer’s transfer to Medellín, several regional media already echo the news, ensuring that Oñate will be transferred to the capital of Antioquia in the course of this Tuesday, February 23. However, neither family nor ‘Mono Romero’ have confirmed the information.
