Treatment in Mexico
Mexico's healthcare system is a blend of modern medical facilities, skilled professionals, and a commitment to providing accessible care.
Mexico offers a two-tiered healthcare system: public and private. The public system, available to citizens and residents, provides healthcare services through government-funded institutions. This system offers affordable or even free care, but wait times can vary. The private system, on the other hand, offers a higher level of comfort, shorter waiting times, and English-speaking staff. Private healthcare is a popular choice for expatriates and tourists who prefer more immediate and personalized care.
For foreigners residing or spending extended periods in Mexico, enrolling in the public healthcare system can be an option. The Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) and the Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (ISSSTE) are two major institutions that provide public healthcare coverage. To enroll, you typically need to have residency status.
For tourists and short-term visitors, private health insurance is highly recommended.
Mexico has become a hub for medical tourism due to its affordable yet high-quality medical services. Many private hospitals and clinics offer specialized treatments, elective surgeries, and dental procedures that attract visitors from around the world.
