Clinica Ricardo Palma

What Clinica Ricardo Palma does

Clinica Ricardo Palma (legal entity Administradora Clínica Ricardo Palma S.A.) is a privately held, for-profit general hospital located in San Isidro, Lima, Peru, operating continuously as a single-site facility. The hospital runs 200+ beds, 6 operating rooms with 2 recovery rooms, 250+ consultation rooms, and adult plus neonatal ICU capacity, organized across 57+ medical specialties and 14 specialized units (including Pediatric ICU, Bariatric Surgery, Epilepsy, Hyperbaric Medicine, Sleep Medicine, Wound Care, and Breastfeeding units). It is staffed by 400+ medical specialists, with 538 medical professionals listed in its staff directory, and operates a Da Vinci robotic surgery program introduced in 2024 that, as of 2026, includes pediatric robotic surgery — a first for a private clinic in Peru.

The business model combines fee-for-service outpatient consultations (S/ 70 per visit), packaged procedural SKUs (maternity, bariatric, vascular, sports checkup, gynecological, vasectomy, and nutrition programs in tiered offerings), inpatient hospitalization, and a proprietary prepaid health plan called PlanSalud that offers subscription-based coverage with age-tiered premiums, deductibles, and co-insurance. Distribution is multi-channel: a direct-to-consumer layer through the Patient Portal (launched 2020), a 2026 iOS mobile app, a call center, and walk-in appointments; an enterprise layer through a corporate sales team selling Gold/Silver/Bronze health plans and workplace wellness programs; and an international layer through a dedicated International Department that coordinates direct billing with 500+ international insurance companies and travel assistance providers, supporting medical tourism. Installment financing partnerships with BCP, BBVA, and Scotiabank extend up to 12 months interest-free on high-ticket packages.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across individual patients (primary segment), corporate clients, international patients, and procedure-specific consumer packages, with no disclosed revenue figure, ownership structure, institutional investors, or M&A activity in the available data. The company shows no public listing, no parent entity, and no disclosed funding rounds; its strategic posture is that of an established mid-sized private hospital incrementally modernizing its digital channels and expanding its service surface through new technology adoption and productization of clinical offerings.
