Overview

RMI Health, which describes itself as the Regenerative Medicine Institute, is a private clinic in San José, Costa Rica. The site presents the institute as physician-led and says it has been working in longevity medicine and regenerative therapies for about fifteen years. Its contact page places the clinic at Avenida Escazú in San José and gives a telephone number for a programme adviser, though it does not publish a full street address.

According to the site, the institute's central offering is cellular therapy. It states that it gives infusions of mesenchymal stem cells taken from umbilical cord tissue, and separately offers infusions of Muse cells. Around this it lists therapeutic plasma exchange, cognitive and neuroprotective programmes, regenerative orthopaedics, regenerative dermatology and sexual wellness programmes for men and women. It also advertises a service it calls bio-insurance, in which a person's own stem cells are collected and cryopreserved for later use.

The site says cells are processed in the institute's own laboratory rather than being bought in, and describes that laboratory as certified to ISO 5 and ISO 7 cleanroom classes with cell viability tracking. The about page adds that the institute is currently pursuing compliance with good manufacturing practice, which indicates that it does not hold that status at the time of writing.

The institute names its clinicians, including co-founders Dr Vincent Giampapa and Dr Victor Urzola and a chief medical officer, Dr Jose Rojas. The site does not publish prices for any of its programmes, and states that medical recommendations follow a structured eligibility review rather than being offered in advance.
