Enjoy Mexico while you restore your health.
Recovery is easier when you enjoy your surroundings.
MEDICAL TOURISM
Medical tourism is the transfer of over 31 miles from your home to receive medical attention. In the last years, it has increased significantly, since having access to information through social media or the internet lets us have a wider knowledge, which allows us to make decisions on where we can get good medical attention at accessible prices, while at the same time enjoying a few days of rest and leisure.
Medical tourism, also called health tourism, gives us the opportunity to have access to quality medical attention at accessible prices but, over all, with human warmth.
Many times, the costs of certain treatments at home are very high. We don’t have access to advanced treatments, or we simply don’t get the attention we deserve. Traveling to another country could mean an 80% reduction of cost of a medical treatment compared to your home country.
Mexico is the second country in the world which receives the most foreign patients, with close to a million people traveling mainly to Mexico City, Tijuana, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta to receive medical attention related to plastic surgery, orthopedics and dental treatments, among others.
Nowadays, close to 14 million people travel to other countries to receive medical attention.
