Colombia · Question 2: which clinics?

Every government-listed medical facility in Colombia

15,826 facilities appear on the REPS national register of private health-provider sites as of March 12, 2026. This is the whole field, reproduced from the regulator without ranking or omission. The 36 providers we have researched in depth are marked where they appear; they are a documented subset, not a shortlist of the only legitimate options.

What being on this list means

The site (sede) belongs to a private institutional provider (IPS) inscribed in REPS under the mandatory habilitación system (Resolución 3100 de 2019). Inscription is a legal precondition to offer any health service in Colombia, and each site must display its distintivo de habilitación per service. Where the 2022 capacity report lists operating rooms or beds for the site, that is shown.

What it does not mean

Habilitación is a self-declared registration verified by inspection, not an accreditation (that is Icontec, held by about 64 institutions). This list does not show which services a site is habilitado for; the services table is only on the Ministry portal, which blocks access from outside Colombia. Independent professionals (54,657 sites) are not included. A clinic can be in REPS and still be the subject of a closure order.

Official lookup · How to verify a clinic yourself · Researched profiles

The list uses legal entity names. If a brand does not appear, search the street address from the clinic's contact page, then ask the clinic for the name on its certificate.

By capacity class

The capacity class is the first thing to match against the procedure you are booking: it says what the list itself records about each facility.

Sites with operating rooms869
Private IPS sites that reported at least one operating room (quirófano or sala de cirugía) in the November 2022 capacity report. Surgery under general anesthesia should happen at one of these.
Inpatient sites without operating rooms361
Reported beds but no operating room in 2022.
Outpatient sites6,906
Reported consulting rooms or procedure rooms only in 2022, including most dental clinics.
Capacity not reported7,690
In REPS as of March 2026 but absent from the 2022 capacity report, so usually opened or re-registered after 2022. Ask the clinic for its distintivo and services.

The 36 providers we have researched

For each of these we record what is documented: registration or licence status against this list, named operating doctors and anesthesia plan, published prices, regulator or press record, and exactly how to book. 65 of them are matched to a row on this list by name; the rest trade under a brand that differs from the legal name on the register, and their profiles say so.

Medical disclaimer: This page is general information, not medical advice. Listings are aggregated from public sources and prices are estimates that may be out of date — confirm current pricing, services, and provider credentials directly with each clinic.

Affiliate disclosure: VitalityScout may earn a commission from some links, at no additional cost to you. This never affects which providers we list or how we describe them.

This directory reproduces the official list without additions or omissions and is refreshed when the regulator republishes it. Facility names are shown as the regulator publishes them. A facility that is not listed may have been authorized after March 12, 2026, may operate under a different legal name, or may not be authorized at all. Always confirm with the official lookup and ask the facility for its certificate before paying. VitalityScout has no commercial relationship with any facility listed here.
