Why Colombia specifically clusters this consistently
Colombia ranked #22 globally and #1 in the Western Hemisphere in the World Health Organization's World Health Report 2000 — a ranking the WHO has not repeated since, due to controversy over the methodology. Treat it as a historical data point, not a current scorecard. Combined with 6 JCI-accredited hospitals and SCCP surgeon certification for cosmetic procedures specifically, Colombia's accreditation infrastructure supports this pricing across nearly every category, not just one or two headline procedures.
