Mexico Medical Travel
– Reasons for Popularity
Low cost of treatments is probably the biggest reason which attracts
patients from America and Canada to Mexico. The country sometimes
remains as the only affordable option for uninsured Americans. Medical
tours to Mexico are feasible for patients from the US and Canada due to
its proximity to their own countries. Tijuana and Monterrey, which are
hugely popular Mexico medical travel destinations, are only half hour
away from the San Diego Airport and an hour's flight away from Texas
respectively. Also, Monterrey is only a 4 hour drive from Texas.
Patients can opt to fly or simply drive down to their desired medical
destination.
Mexico hospitals are accredited and offer high quality of treatment and
care. The doctors are trained and certified. Also, some treatments are
readily and more easily available in Mexico than in the US. It is also
a great place for a vacation offering travelers multiple options in
terms of shopping and sight seeing. Medical travel to Mexico is
therefore viewed as a complete vacation experience.

facilities only.
Avoid driving on your own.
Avoid buying ice and drinks
and purchasing food from the street.
