Clinica los Andes

What Clinica los Andes does

Clínica Los Andes S.A. is a private ambulatory surgery center headquartered in Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia, founded in 1992 (originally as Clínica Endoscópica Laser S.A.) by a group of 63 specialist surgeons who pioneered endoscopic and laser surgical procedures in the region. The clinic operates approximately 119 employees across two Cali locations, delivering specialized surgical and consultation services across eight medical specialties — gynecology, urology, otolaryngology, orthopedics and traumatology, breast surgery, bariatric surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and general surgery — supported by minimally invasive (endoscopic, laparoscopic, and laser) surgical technology, operating theaters, and low-complexity hospitalization beds for post-operative recovery.

Revenue is generated through six primary streams: specialized ambulatory and conventional surgical procedures, specialized outpatient consultations, low-complexity hospitalization, telemedicine services covering 14 specialties (teleconsultation, telemonitoring, teleradiology, and tele-education), bundled medical tourism packages targeting international patients, and contractual arrangements with Colombian EPS (Entidades Promotoras de Salud) insurers and medicina prepagada prepaid medicine providers. The go-to-market is primarily direct-to-patient via WhatsApp, phone, walk-in, and the clinic's website, with insurance network channels serving insured patients and dedicated marketing driving cross-border medical tourists to aesthetic and surgical packages. The clinic has maintained ISO 9001:2008 quality management certification continuously since 2008, operates academic-service partnerships with Universidad Libre and ESSALUD Clínica Blanca, and publishes annual financial statements (2018-2025) on its corporate website, though specific revenue figures are not disclosed.
