Juan lives in Villa Rica, Tolima, Colombia. 7 hours away from Bogotá where our headquarters are. He lives with his father, mother and a brother.
The first time he came to fisulab he showed signs of a very incomplete treatment showed in his bad speech facility, and his poor social skills.
His family expenses are very close to the total earnings of his father. He came to Fisulab looking forward to fix his overall problem because they have heard about Fisulab´s integral treatment. Fisulab received him with arms wide open and was immediately on the road to Juan recovery. His house location was a big issue because every time he had to come to Bogotá for his therapies, the overall expenses on the round trip were very high and the difficulties of moving around those big distances were exhausting.
Thanks to very consistat and committed patients like Juan, Fisulab created a whole program about virtual therapies that intend to solve distance and mobility problems in order to keep patients that live far away connected with their doctors so they can attend their speech therapies from home and keep in touch with their other therapists for any emergency doubt or assistance.
Fisulab provides them internet plans and faclities with computers and equipments in order for them to keep in touch without living their home.
