It's Colombia with an "o" instead of a "u". it's an oft repeated error in spelling.

Although I can't speak speak from personal experience to the quality of health care for women, I can vouch for the overall quality of health care in my city of Medellin. More than once I've had occasion to be in urgent need of hospitialzation and the quality of the doctors and staff was most satisfactory. I've had two operations and one very delicate minimally invasive procedure that went smoothly.
International independent ratings consistently place medical care in Medellin at the top of South American hospitals and 22 out of 191 countries reviewed by the World Health Organization.

Unfortunately there's this thing called auto correct. Sorry for any offense with the mistake.

We have had good care in Medellín but we are particular so we pay out of pocket and just go to the docs we want.

EPS is very cheap and I would think the care would be similar to what you would expect from a regular hospital in the US.

Also the plastic surgery in Medellín is some of the best in the world.

Both my wife and daughter prefer health care in Medellin Colombia than in the United States, commenting it is more caring and medical personnel take more time with patients.

Many claim Colombia has ' world class' medical care- though I have yet to understand what this claim is based on- I would tend to doubt this assertion.

My two cents is that for any more serious or complicated issue better to seek care in the USA, UK or EU.

Colombia is placed 22 out of 191 countries on the world scale. That being said, Colombia you pay for health insurance through private insurance companies. Canada is 30 on the world scale and the US is 37. Canada provides universal healthcare paid by income tax where the US Healthcare system is outrageously priced out of the market. Colombian private insurance companies are set up with certain clinics and hospitals so it's not universal. The nice thing in Colombia is that you can get home care! Plastic surgery started in Colombia so medicine is very advanced.
