The devaluation of the Peso (Colombian currency) against the US Dollar, has made Colombia an excellent destination for low cost, world-class medical tourism treatment. In recent years, Colombia has become internationally renowned for their famous cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics, where the rich and famous have been going in order to maintain their anonymity and recuperate along the pristine Colombian beaches and Mountain resorts.

Colombia is the third-most populous country in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico. Thirty cities have a population of 100,000 or more. The nine eastern lowlands departments, constituting about 54% of Colombia's area, have less than 3% of the population and a density of less than one person per square kilometer (two persons per sq. mi.). Ethnic diversity in Colombia is a result of the intermingling of indigenous peoples, Europeans, and Africans. Today, only about 1% of the people can be identified as fully indigenous on the basis of language and customs.

The salaries in Colombia of Doctors, Nurses, and supporting personnel are about 20% of US salaries for similar occupations even though they are required to have the same level of education and job skills.  In Colombia building costs, rent, land costs etc. are only a fraction of what they are in the US.  These savings are passed on to you - the customer.
The US healthcare system is so big, so disorganized most of the dollars paid in never go to the Physicians.  Layers and layers of people hired to find a way to deny your claims and the resulting tons of paperwork result in higher prices to you - the customer.
