Mexico has a  market for medical tourism and it´s growing rapidly. As medical care and procedure in North America continue to rise and become out of reach for many people, those hit hardest by it are seeking an alternative. Visitors from around the world are coming here to schedule medical or dental treatments which are much more expensive back home. Medical Care in the Riviera Maya is going strong.
Not all visitors to Cancun and Playa del Carmen are here for the beautiful beaches and archaeological sites. Many of these tourists, whether by disease or injury or personal desire; visit local clinics and hospitals to treat various conditions, checkups and cosmetic procedures.
