Before you book. No prices published; quote is given per case by the International Office. The page says Cali has 'a strong presence in international health and medical tourism' (marketing). Canada advises avoid non-essential travel to Valle del Cauca 'excluding the cities of Buga, Cali, Palmira'. Check-up page lists package contents (basic labs, extended labs, imaging and stress tests) but no price.
Listing is not a recommendation: we chose providers with an international patient service and their own published information, and we have not inspected any of them. Read what governments advise about treatment abroad.
