Private healthcare for people in Rio de Janeiro

Care in Miami, our nearest city to Rio de Janeiro

Many people in Rio de Janeiro begin in Miami, the closest of our cities, where we arrange care with the city's best clinics and follow it through, with private GP from $1,750, doctor at your home or hotel from $1,850, executive health from $16,000 and full body MRI from $4,400.

Members are seen first, and anyone can request an appointment today. Your results and your plan stay in one record, so a doctor in London begins where a doctor in Miami left off.

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from Brazil can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].

Health care in Rio de Janeiro

The Federal Constitution of 1988 holds that health is a right of all and a duty of the State, and the Unified Health System, the SUS, is made up of the Ministry of Health, the states and the municipalities. [4]

Universal access is a founding principle of the SUS, so its services are open to every person whatever their sex, race, occupation or other social or personal characteristics. [4]

The city of Rio de Janeiro counted 6,211,223 residents at the 2022 Census, according to IBGE, the national statistics institute. [5]

Arranging a visit from Rio de Janeiro

Start with a message on WhatsApp or a request here, with the dates you could travel and what you would most like answered. Your concierge replies within the hour, whatever the time in Rio de Janeiro, and offers appointment times before you commit to a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

We arrange calls at an hour that suits you in Rio de Janeiro. After a long flight, a first appointment on the morning after you arrive usually leaves you clearer than one on the day itself, and your concierge will suggest it.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

• Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
• A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
• The question you most want answered, written down
• The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Your letters are written in English for any doctor in Rio de Janeiro to read, and your results remain yours to see once you are home. On your next visit, your doctor starts from the last one.
