How are local medical facilities in Mexico?
We asked members about local medical facilities in Mexico, they wrote...
"Medical facilities and care in Mexico vary greatly depending on location and type of healthcare provider. Generally speaking, there are good quality hospitals and clinics throughout the country that provide comprehensive medical care. The quality of government-funded public healthcare can vary, however, those with access to private care receive satisfactory treatment from healthcare professionals. Mexico also has a large number of highly qualified specialists that can provide top-notch care in many critical areas of medicine. In addition, the country has access to cutting-edge technology and treatments," said another expat in Mexico.
"I am very close to the many pharmacies for medicines. Also there are bi-lingual doctors' offices in many places downtown. There are several hospitals nearby within a few miles. I have heard that the quality of care is very good. But, I have not had personal experience yet, thank goodness," wrote a member who made the move to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
