Mexico has become one of the most important medical tourism destinations because of its excellent medical practitioners and more accessible prices than the U.S. and Europe.

The country receives more than 3 billion dollars from medical tourism in 20 cities that have 105 hospitals certified by the Department of Health.

Tijuana, in particular, has become a success story because it welcomes more than 500 thousand foreigners that trust the expert hands of the cosmetic surgeons of this city, as well as dentists, and other specialist physicians.
