Colombia as a medical tourism destination

Colombia is constantly growing as a medical destination. Our government is investing to expand the market taking actions to elevate the country in this tourism field.

The project Transformácion Productiva from the federal government wants to rank Colombia as a world leader in this area by 2032. They are working to achieve this goal by forming alliances between the health and hospitality sectors, improving human resources, sustaining English classes, expanding infrastructure and working to get international affiliations and accreditations like the medical tourism accreditation.

Like previously stated the country is ranked as 22nd best healthcare system according to the World Health Organization. This is the highest position in Latin America.

Our country is also home to 40% of the top clinics and hospitals in Latin America. Four institutions are accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI) that recognizes international standards. The Foundation Cardioinfantil and Hospital Universitario Fundacion Santa Fé de Bogota are two renowned institutions with accredited quality and are among the most famous in the country.

The other institutions are located in Cali, Hospital Universitario Del Valle, Clínica Sebastian de Belalcazar. And Centro médico Imbanaco. The first two specialized in orthopedic and surgery general procedures.

As of April of 2917, Centro Médico Imbanaco gained the JCI accreditation.
The Centro Medico Imbanaco offers a wide range of services, from cosmetic surgery, cardiology, cancer treatment, urology and much more. It has been a go-to choice for international patients, and has a successful track record of offering top quality care at a considerably less cost to medical tourists.
