Healthcare in Mérida, Yucatán

Mérida, the capital of the state, has always been a center for medical services in the Yucatán. The University of Yucatán (UADY) has had for generations one of the best medical schools in Mexico. Because of the quality of the hospitals and the many specialists of all kinds, patients from all over the southeast of Mexico – Quintana Roo, Campeche, Tabasco, Chiapas, Veracruz and even Belize, come to Mérida for medical attention.

Residents will find that health services and care, including checkups, dental care, plastic surgery, rehabilitation, and intensive care, besides being first class, cost a fraction of what they would cost in the U.S. Many of the doctors speak English as they have done post-graduate work abroad.

For health insurance, rates in Mexico are very accessible. You can be protected and use the best hospitals and doctors at reasonable costs.

Blood banks: In Yucatán there is no North American Red Cross Blood Bank with units of blood on call, but rather for each emergency or scheduled operation blood is sourced from the hospital’s own blood bank. It is customary for the patient to be requested to replenish the blood used from relatives and friends with the same blood type. Be sure to carry your blood type with you in case of emergency and know which of your friends and relatives might have the same blood type as you.
