Punta Cana bets on longevity medicine with a new specialized clinic
Punta Cana is preparing to elevate its offering as an international destination through the integration of an innovative model of preventive and precision medicine. The Paseo del Sendero Group has formalized an alliance with Servisalud QCL to operate a Longevity Clinic within the Chukum Lagoon & Residences complex, located in Vistacana, which is scheduled to open in 2027.
This health center will not only serve local residents, but it is also positioned as a fundamental pillar to attract international visitors seeking cutting-edge medical services. The proposal focuses on a personalized approach, where the analysis of biomarkers, the microbiome, hormonal balance, nutrition, sleep quality, and stress management are an essential part of the comprehensive medical evaluation.
Medical leadership with strategic vision
The scientific direction of the project will be led by Dr. Giovanni Navarro Téllez, a professional with more than 15 years of experience in clinical management and high-level strategic direction. Under his leadership, the clinic seeks to transform the traditional paradigm, transitioning from a reactive system to a proactive one based on scientific evidence.
We do not promise to reverse age; we measure and work on what, according to evidence and each person’s characteristics, is susceptible to improvement. In longevity, there is a lot of marketing and little evidence. We want people to know what we base our work on and what we actually know.
Doctor Giovanni Navarro Téllez
More than years, quality of life
The central objective of this initiative is to promote healthy aging, where functionality and vitality are the priorities. Unlike other models, this program ensures that each patient has a responsible physician who oversees their process from beginning to end, ensuring a real integration of the results obtained.
A growing health destination
The convergence between tourism and specialized medicine in the Dominican Republic is a reality that continues to gain traction. With Punta Cana consolidated as the main entry point for visitors to the country, projects like Chukum Lagoon & Residences reinforce the sector’s competitiveness.
- Comprehensive approach: Personalized assessment of the patient’s health status.
- Transparency: Classification of interventions according to levels of scientific evidence.
- Scope: Service designed for both permanent residents and tourists seeking wellness.
- Economic impact: Strengthening of health tourism, a strategic segment for foreign investment in the country.
For Alberto Vásquez, president of Grupo Paseo del Sendero, this addition represents a qualitative leap in the diversification of Punta Cana, aligning with global trends that demand highly specialized health services in top-tier tourist destinations.
