The Alevy stem cell clinic and laboratory; note that its website lists treatment centres in Medellin and Pereira, and does not mention a Bogota location.
This entry covers the same organisation as the main Alevy listing. It is worth flagging one discrepancy at the outset: this directory record places Alevy in Bogota, but the clinic's own website names treatment centres only in Medellin and Pereira and does not mention a Bogota address. Anyone in Bogota should confirm where they would actually be treated.
Alevy describes itself as an ISO-certified biotechnology laboratory and stem cell clinic. It uses mesenchymal stem cells taken from Wharton's jelly inside donated umbilical cord tissue, grown and multiplied in its own laboratory to doses of between 50 million and 300 million cells. It states that cell viability exceeds 90 per cent, a figure published by the clinic itself and not independently verified. Cells can be given by drip into a vein, into the spinal fluid, through the nose or by local injection.
The certifications listed are ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 13022 for risk management, ISO 14644 for cleanroom classification and ISO 22859 covering umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, together with membership of the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy. Bilingual staff, virtual consultations and help with travel are offered to patients arriving from abroad. No individual doctor is named.
The condition list is very broad. Stem cell treatment is not an established therapy for most of these, so ask what published evidence supports its use in your particular case.
The site refers to board-certified physicians with decades of clinical experience and more than ten years in regenerative medicine, but names no individual and gives no specific qualifications.
The website lists Medellin (Edificio Cross, Carrera 43B number 16-41) and Pereira (Megacentro, Carrera 19 number 12-50, and Clinica del Eje on Carrera 13, Avenida 30 de Agosto). No Bogota location is named on the site, despite this directory record listing Bogota. Bilingual staff arrange travel, airport transfers and accommodation, and virtual consultations are available beforehand.
The clinic publishes a range of roughly 3,000 to 25,000 US dollars and above, depending on the condition, dose, method of delivery and number of sessions, with the final price set after a medical evaluation.
