Comparison of Infertility Treatment Costs
The average cost of infertility treatments in Panama is on average,  U$2000 more than in Colombia, where infertility centers such as Reprotec provide the same if not better quality of medical services.  This difference would cover the majority of travel fees if used in Colombia.

In addition to the cost of infertility treatments in Panama, couples must consider the price difference in lodging, transportation and food costs.  The logistical package available through partnerships with professional travel providers are more affordable in Colombia, when compared with the high costs of life in Panama City.  

After the process of a a full regiment of infertility treatments in Panama, the costs could be magnitudes greater than those of the same assisted reproductive technology in Colombia.  When considering the duration of the infertility treatment, the cost of lodging can be a considerable impediment.  Prices for hotels and general activities are more affordable in Colombia than in Panama, and this compliments with further savings towards the over-all package.
