About carewithinreach
After having studied the Colombian orthopedic care system over the past four years, carewithinreach was founded in 2019 to address the significant gap in the delivery of secondary orthopedic care across Colombia.
We provide support to CPO’s, certified orthopedic clinicians, in upcoming economies to develop viable orthopedic care centers, delivering high quality care through a simple scalable franchise model. In order to decentralise and professionalise orthopedic services and deliver maximum impact, we operate in secondary cities, building a network of accessible orthopedic care centers.
Our mission
It is our mission to increase access to affordable, qualitative orthopedic care for people with a disability in upcoming economies.
Carewithinreach provides quality patient care by delivering on:
- patient welfare: we commit to the highest safety standards, in order to deliver the best quality care, and create a friendly caring environment
- operational excellence: we are dedicated to the continuous improvement of our processes and operations
- viability & growth: we offer a wide range of products, from mid to high end, bringing solutions to many different types of patients
- accessibility: our clinics are located in areas where there is no or limited orthopaedic care available, making a huge difference to people in these areas
- social enterprise: 10% of our profit is donated to help those who don’t have access to care
We are currently opening our first clinic in Tunja, Colombia. After having established three clinics in Colombia, carewithinreach aims to scale to other countries, bringing care to those who need it most.
