What are healthcare services like in Mexico?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Mexico. They wrote...
"We have several hospitals here and are only 3 and a half hours from Guadalajara which has as good medical care as anywhere in the world. We had a friend who spent 3 weeks in intensive care in Guadalajara and the total cost was 35,000.00 dollars. Think of that in the US.. and she is well now," explained one expat living in Manzanillo, Mexico.

"The healthcare system in Mexico is largely divided into private and public services. Public healthcare is largely provided by the federal health system and is available to anyone who meets the country's numeric residency requirements. Private healthcare is often seen as the more reliable option, which generally requires health insurance or out-of-pocket payments. In general, healthcare in Mexico is quite advanced, with sophisticated medical technologies and well-trained medical professionals available in both public and private facilities. Mexico has made progress in recent years in prioritising the health and well-being of its citizens, with a significant emphasis on preventive care and public health initiatives, such as the introduction of new health insurance options," said another expat in Mexico.
