Why Colombian prices are competitive. The medical tourism industry has expanded extensively since the late 1990s around the world .
Medical tourism generally refers to travelling across international borders to obtain a range of medical services. Patients looking for affordable, as well as high quality medical care travel to medical centers in other countries like Colombia.

The majority of medical tourists who travel from developed countries to developing countries are motivated by the out-of-pocket cost of healthcare, long waiting times to access the service or to access specific procedures which are not available in their home countries or that are cheaper in the country abroad.

For Cali, medical tourism industry not only includes medical services but also involves tourism perspectives, supporting the patient and their families to stay in a comfortable and pleasurable environment like CasaPance.

If we compare the US’s expensive treatment costs, long waiting times to access medical services, serious health insurance problems, and out-of-pocket expenses for elective surgery, even for people with health insurance, Cali is more affordable and the high deductibles and co-payments for treatments are low.

Because it’s cheaper and the health access is high, CasaPance not only offers medical tourism but wellness tourism, transplant tourism, reproductive tourism and dental tourism.

Also, most patients coming from Canada and the UK are exposed to a lack of timely access to elective procedures, although both countries provide universal healthcare coverage. This lack of timeliness motivates residents to participate in medical tourism coming to Cali to get state of the art treatments.

Another important aspect to consider is how well trained and how much studies Colombian doctors hold. International certifications, abroad attending conferences, and rigorous training, The World Health Organization ranks Colombian medicine as the 22nd most efficient in the world, above Canada, the United States, and Australia.

Lastly, it is not just inconvenient healthcare systems in developed countries that are leading to the growth of the medical tourism industry in Colombia; other factors are also important, such as the serious growth in aging populations, the development of the Internet, and social media, the affordability of overseas transportation, improved standards in international healthcare and the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) multilateral trade agreement such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), including health services among others.

Because the increased demand for medical tourism has provoked fierce competition among several countries which promote themselves as medical tourism destinations, Cali awaits for you and your family to get the treatment and the leisure time you deserve.
