LATIN AMERICA such as gynecology , neurosurgery , orthotics and others , as soon as upcoming alliances are set by FCV , bringing alternatives in service quality and cost .
BRAL : In your own projections , where do you see FCV five years from today ? What plans do you have to accomplish such goals ?
VRC : Five years from today , FCV is becoming Colombia ’ s most prominent health institution , not only because of the length of provided medical services and demographic reach , but rather by its activities ’ social impact , benefitting the community in its entirety , specially population sectors scattered through hard-to-reach parts of the country ’ s geography , mainly people lacking access to decent medical attention . Five years from now , FCV must be our country ’ s most important social endeavor .
Within the next five years , we hope our University Foundation becomes fully operational , with a complete medical specialty program and our social security company underway . In this same period , the Tech Development Center should be patenting higher volumes of medical products and instruments along with other local initiatives , as part of Colombia ’ s most important healthcare cluster . Our services ’ scale should be large enough to provide attention for children and adults separately . By then , we will have 12 own medical centers across the country , while managing 50 top-level hospitals .
