Your Health AND Appearance
Colombia
has long been regarded as a leading health care provider in South
America and Caribbean. The World Bank, in a September 1995
report, featured Colombia´s Health/Tourism potential.
Since that time, Cartagena´s “potential” has
grown into reality, as thousands of foreign patients/tourists
annually visit Cartagena.
Most Cartagena doctors,
nurses and technicians receive their training from Cartagenas
medical and dental universities. The City also attracts many of
Colombia´s best doctors, who establish their practice in
Cartagena. Many members of our medical community also complete
post grad courses at universities in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
International Medical/Dental,
equipment, and drug manufacturers regularly provide state-of-the-art
classes for Cartagena medical/dental professionals, working in
conjunction with our Cartagena universities.
Language is generally
not a concern, and many Doctors and Dentists have a good working
knowledge of English, as well as Spanish.
World Bank Report
Following
is an excerp from the World Bank report, entitled: Prospects
for Health Tourism Exports for the English Speaking Caribbean.)
Colombia
Due to Colombia’s
relatively low costs and high quality, private health services
have been highly attractive ... Private health services in Colombia
have comparative advantages over the Caribbean due to the low
costs of medical and paramedical personnel, the availability of
high technology equipment, and facilities which in some cases
have good international reputations. Moreover, modern hospital
administrative systems and quality assurance programs are being
developed to make these services more attractive to the US market.
