Safety & standards

Don't take our word for it. Verify us.

Medical trust shouldn't be asked for; it should be checkable. This page explains exactly how care is regulated in Colombia, and how to verify our physicians and facilities yourself, before you spend a dollar or book a flight.

Medical care in Colombia is nationally regulated: physicians must hold registration in ReTHUS (the national public health-professional registry), and clinical facilities are accredited and inspected by INVIMA, Colombia's national food-and-drug regulatory agency. Colombia Regenerative physicians publish their credentials, and patients receive facility documentation and the clinic's physical address before booking travel.

The four layers

How your safety is structured.

1. National physician registry

Every Colombian physician carries a verifiable registration. Dr. Jackie Arroyo Sierra practices under Reg.Md 20 594, checkable in Colombia's public ReTHUS registry. Dr. Roberto Aldana Pinto's ReTHUS registration number is provided in your consultation documentation and is being added to this page.

2. INVIMA-accredited facilities

Treatment takes place in facilities accredited by INVIMA, the national regulator responsible for health standards, the same class of oversight the FDA provides in the US. Accreditation documentation is shared before you book.

3. Certified biologics

When regenerative treatment uses cells, they are lab-counted and certified, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells with documentation of sourcing, count (typically 25-30 million), and viability, explained to you before treatment.

4. Honest selection

The strongest safety mechanism is refusing patients who aren't a fit. Our physicians decline cases their protocols can't genuinely help, and the consultation is refunded when they do.

Check us yourself

Your verification checklist.

1

Verify the physician

Ask for the doctor's full name and registration number (published on our doctor pages), and check it against Colombia's ReTHUS public registry.

2

Ask for the facility documentation

We provide the clinic's physical Bogotá address and INVIMA accreditation documentation before travel. A clinic that won't do this is telling you something.

3

Talk to a real patient

Ask during your consultation. We'd rather connect you with a real former patient than print an easy quote.

4

Pressure-test the honesty

Describe your case fully and see whether you get a sales pitch or a diagnosis. Our physicians regularly tell people no; that's the point of the refundable consultation.

Straight answers

The safety questions, answered plainly.

Is regenerative medicine legal in Colombia?

Yes. Licensed Colombian physicians may practice regenerative medicine within Colombian medical regulation, in accredited facilities. Treatments that are heavily restricted in the US are legally practiced here under physician supervision, which is why international patients travel.

What happens if I have a complication in Bogotá?

You are under a physician's direct, personal supervision throughout your stay, in an accredited facility with clinical support. Risks and contraindications for your specific case are reviewed honestly in the consultation before you decide anything.

And after I fly home?

Follow-up is structured, not improvised: scheduled physician consultations and regular check-ins after you return, and we encourage every patient to keep their home physician involved from day one.

Why is this so much cheaper than the US if it's safe?

Colombian healthcare costs are structurally lower: physician wages, facility costs, and liability overhead are a fraction of US equivalents. The price difference reflects the economy the care is delivered in, not the standard of the care.

Bring your skepticism to the consultation. It's diagnostic, refundable, and the fastest way to find out if we're what we say we are.
