It’swell known that Mexico is a country that proudly competes with the great worldpowers in many sectors, and beyond regular tourism, in which we are definitelystrong, there is a sector that has an undoubted quality that hasn’t been alwaysrecognized, we’re talking about the medical sector.
Eachyear, hundreds of thousands of tourists take the decision of traveling toMexico with something else in mind besides sunbathing, trying our gastronomyand falling in love with our culture. They come to get medical attention andhigh quality services in the hands of super qualified doctors, with astate-of-the-art hospital infrastructure,high-end equipment and especially, what attracts them the most is that the costis considerably lower that what they find in their countries, allowing them tosave an average of 38% in a variety of treatments and surgical procedures. Forexample, a rhinoplasty is 56% cheaper than in the United States while a cardiacvalve replacement is 89% cheaper. This is surprising data that needs to beconsidered.
We have a greatgeographical advantage, and that is that our neighbours United States andCanada are two of the countries with a higher number of interested people onreceiving medical attention in a foreign country and this has led to having amuch wider variety to offer. When once in Mexico, medical tourism was focusedin dentist and plastic surgeon services, now we are a world known destination forspecialized medical attention.
Mexico is thesecond destination in medical tourism and attracts between two hundred thousandand one million foreign patients each year, coming mainly from Arizona,California and Texas.
