Medical - Medical (general) / medicina, sistema médico
Spanish term or phrase: ejerce la rectoría del sistema
El texto que estoy traduciendo trata sobre la organización del sistema médico colombiano.

La frase completa es: "Consejo Nacional de Seguridad Social en Salud: Por ley, ejerce la rectoría del sistema".

No estoy segura de a qué se refiere "la rectoría" aquí. Deduzco que se trata de control, regulación o guía.

Éste es mi intento de traducción. A ver qué les parece.

National Council of Health Social Security: By law, it rules the system / acts as a system regulator.

Desde ya, gracias por sus sugerencias y aportes.

Saludos.

I've had second thoughts (in the light of what other contributors have written) and would now suggest: "acts as a watchdog for the system".
