Mexico Medical Travel – Reasons for Popularity
The low cost of treatments is probably the biggest reason that attracts patients from America and Canada to Mexico. The country sometimes remains the only affordable option for uninsured Americans. Medical tours to Mexico are feasible for patients from the US and Canada due to their proximity to their own countries. Tijuana and Monterrey, which are hugely popular Mexico medical travel destinations, are only half an 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 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 sightseeing. Medical travel to Mexico is therefore viewed as a complete vacation experience.
Mexico Medical Travel – Some Things to Consider
Gang wars and violent crimes are not uncommon in Mexico. These are not targeted at tourists or any nationality in particular, but one could get affected if caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is, therefore, always safe to use hospital-arranged transport or authorized, approved, pre-paid taxis so that one does not get lost.
