What's driving this growth

US insurance-coverage gaps, rising domestic self-pay costs, and Colombia's expanding accreditation infrastructure — including Hospital Internacional de Colombia's 2025 Mayo Clinic Care Network entry — all plausibly contribute to sustained volume growth.

Why citing source years matters

Medical tourism volume and revenue figures update over time — always note which year a specific figure applies to, since methodology and market conditions shift.

The Takeaway

Treat any specific growth statistic as directional and dated — the underlying growth trend is well-supported even where exact figures vary by source and year.
