Why is Medical Tourism in Tijuana booming?

While people from North America have been visiting Mexico for medical care and medicines for more than a 100 years now, the facilities are now modernized, English more widely spoken and the infrastructure, both tourist and medical, is well developed. Increasingly, Americans do not have medical insurance or are not adequately covered and residents of Canada do not want to wait for procedures that may even be covered by the healthcare system in place.

With people more conscious of their bodies and the way they look, more people opt for cosmetic surgeries or treatments to enhance their appearance and give them more confidence. Going to Tijuana for any kind of cosmetic work whether non-invasive, minimally invasive, surgical or even medical treatments like knee or hip replacement, cancer care and others, dental procedures and more becomes a viable option. If you go through medical tourism reviews, Tijuana will be a popular medical tourism destination.
