This comprehensive 244-page guide, now in its fourth edition, is a wide-ranging compendium of information, facts, contacts and local knowledge concerning healthcare matters in Mexico.

In addition to the thoroughly comprehensive range of healthcare topics, the book also contains a dedicated section with healthcare advice for travelers in Mexico, alerts about current disease risks in certain areas, alcoholism, procedures for complaints about the healthcare you may receive, and a section about the 'dark side' of healthcare in Mexico--pointing out the lesser advertised risks and cons associated with healthcare and how to separate the genuine healthcare options from the hype.
