Health Info About Mexico
Medical Care
Is the Zika Virus In Our Area of Mexico?
Because we're located in a desert with virtually no mosquitos, the Zika Virus is not a threat in our area of Mexico.
Local Hospitals
In our area, we have several hospitals that can help with medical care. One is a state run hospital and doesn't charge for medical care. It provides care for minor surgeries and would be the first choice for broken bones, sicknesses, and general care. The next is is a government hospital that offers a little more care than the first, but charges for its services. We also have a Christian-run hospital that offers the best care and would be a good choice Appendix surgery, and more complicated care. It does charge, however, but would be about a twentieth of what the same care would cost in America.
Local Clinics
We also have many local care clinics where minor injuries can be addressed.
Private Clinics
We have private practices as well that are available.
Go Missions to Mexico Doctor

We should mention that in regards to medical attention in the Valley of San Quintín, we do have several hospitals. In the event that you feel that medical health insurance is important for your group, below is some possible help.
