The clinical experience

Individual reclining chairs, visual device monitoring, and permanent medical staff on-site — the same clinical quality expected of a leading hospital, with the privacy an international patient expects.

How we coordinate your case

A clinical process designed for traveling patients.

01

Pre-travel virtual consultation

Before you travel, we schedule a virtual medical consultation to review your clinical history, prior reports and health goals — so you know if there's a suitable protocol for your case before making the trip.

02

Personalized medical plan

Based on your prior studies and initial evaluation, our medical team designs the treatment timeline: diagnostic tests, procedures, dates, and estimated visit duration.

03

Clinical visit in Cumbayá

You arrive in Quito with everything arranged: a defined clinical schedule, support at every step, and medical care in your language throughout your stay.

04

Remote follow-up

The protocol doesn't end when you return home. NexusMed maintains remote clinical follow-up: results review, protocol adjustments, and direct communication with the medical team.

Patient and technology
