Health
The poorest communities in Central America have the lowest rates of medical care. Maternal and neonatal mortality rates are a constant concern for governments and civil organizations that work to reverse their negative effects.
On the other hand, adolescent pregnancies before finishing their studies and inequity and access to health services are problems that must be addressed from different levels. We, working hand in hand with other Associations, Companies and Government entities, have online programs for family planning, health educational communication that promote self-care and the adoption of healthy lifestyles, incorporating interactive and didactic activities on various topics: life line, nutrition, diabetes, obesity, addictions and depression, among others, the contents also have the objective of facilitating the work of parents, teachers and health promoters.
Without health there is no adequate development in communities and in society, leading to deficiencies and their low development.
And with regard to health tourism, this is a window to attract visitors, where international tourist flows for medical reasons must be considered, including diagnosis, medical care, surgical interventions and/or medicines.
Mexico has become the second health tourism destination in the last decade, with patients coming from the United States, Japan, Germany, France and China to request services; receiving 1.2 million visitors per year, only behind Thailand which receives 1.8 million visitors per year. Why is Mexico an attractive destination for this sector? Among other benefits because it allows savings between 35% and 85% in some treatments and surgical procedures, such as heart surgery, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, oncology, dentistry, gastrosurgery, reproductive biology, traumatology and gynecology.
