Medical care for residents of Mexico

I am curious about the health care and insurance situation for residents of Mexico. I am considering a residence permit and I want to understand the pros and cons of Mexico's medical system for residents. How affordable is health care, especially for foreigners?

 

The public health system provides services through the IMSS (Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social), but for foreign residents, it is usually better to take out additional health insurance. This is because the IMSS system may not cover all costs, and to avoid high treatment costs, especially for serious illnesses or injuries, it is better to have private insurance. Private clinics in Mexico tend to provide a higher level of care and faster than public clinics, but they also cost more. The cost of health insurance depends on age and health status, but there are many affordable options for residents. For example, for retirees and people with passive income, it is possible to get insurance that will cover basic medical services. Researching the offers in advance is recommended to choose the best program. Also, for those who are interested in the process of obtaining a residence permit and want to learn more about health care, you can visit https://www.fastmexresidency.com/ where you can find detailed information about the different types of insurance and medical services in Mexico for residents.

 

I know that medical care in Mexico is generally good, especially in the major cities. Private clinics are certainly better, but they are more expensive. About insurance, I think it is better to get insurance, as it can save a lot of money in case of health problems.
