Clinica Foscal

What Clinica Foscal does

Clínica FOSCAL (legal name: Fundación Oftalmológica de Santander FOSCAL) is a high-complexity private healthcare institution headquartered in Floridablanca, Santander, Colombia, operating since 1976. It serves national patients covered through the Colombian EPS health insurance system and international patients via its dedicated FOSCAL Internacional (Fundación FOSUNAB) facility. The institution operates across 70+ medical specialties and subspecialties, supported by substantial physical infrastructure that includes 586 hospital beds, 242 consulting rooms, 101 ICU beds (adult and pediatric), 26 surgery rooms, 29 chemotherapy units, and two heliports for emergency transport. Advanced clinical technology includes an Aquilion One CT scanner, Vantage Titan MRI, Aplio 400 ultrasound, Radrex digital X-ray, linear accelerator, and brachytherapy system.

The service portfolio spans core hospital services (emergency care, hospitalization, ambulatory surgery, adult and pediatric intensive care), specialized centers (Centro de Cáncer y Enfermedades Hematológicas, Banco Multitejidos y Centro Terapias Avanzadas supporting bone marrow and renal transplants with 1,734 documented procedures), ophthalmology, preventive health check-ups in tiered plans (Standard, Plus, Premium, Kids), and an in-house pharmacy chain (FOSCALMARKET Droguería) across five locations with home delivery. Digital infrastructure is provided through the MiPortal patient portal for appointments and clinical history access, and the Edufoscal platform supports medical education. Quality credentials include Acreditación en Salud (Icontec/Ministry of Health), WSO-SIECV international certification, BPSO designation from RNAO, and Vigilado Supersalud regulatory oversight.

Revenue is generated through two primary channels: (1) healthcare services delivered to national patients through EPS affiliations, notably Nueva EPS and FOMAG, under Colombia's regulated health insurance framework, and (2) private-pay arrangements for international medical tourists coordinated through FOSCAL Internacional via partnerships with AMEXCARE, VUMI, GMMI, WTA, and Suriname insurance. The institution operates as a private foundation rather than a public company, with no disclosed funding rounds, equity ownership, or revenue figures; financial statements are referenced on the corporate website but specific values are not publicly available. Geographic footprint includes the main Floridablanca campus, a Floridablanca-based international facility, a satellite in San Gil, and a service presence across 13 municipalities in the Santander region.
