Medical Tourism

What is Medical Tourism?

Every year, thousands of people around the world travel to countries other than their own to receive medical treatment. They choose to travel for a variety of reasons related to their medical care, but many also want to experience a specific destination.

Why Choose Medical Tourism?

There is no single answer to this question, and the reasons are different for each person. Some of the explanations offered include:

  • the high cost of health care
  • restricted coverage due to a pre-existing condition
  • the procedure is elective and, therefore, not covered by insurance
  • extended waiting periods for procedures/surgeries
  • limited choice of facilities in the home country
  • limited choice of surgeons in the home country
  • the desired procedure is not available for some reason (legality, approval, eligibility)

Why Specifically Choose Clinics of the Heart?

LOCATION

Clinics of the Heart is located on the beautiful island of Cozumel, Mexico, off the eastern Yucatan peninsula. The island was first settled by the Mayans, with the population growing to approximately 10,000 by the 1500s. You can still see some of the ruins at San Gervasio. The Mayan language is, sadly, spoken/taught much less today, but some still speak it and are happy to teach it to others (not an easy language at all to acquire). The island vegetation and animals are a sight to behold, the people are welcoming, and the diving is legendary.

CLIMATE

Cozumel is a tropical island. The hottest month is August, with average temperatures of 82°F/28°C. In contrast, the coolest month is January, when the average temperature is 75°F/24°C. When it comes to rain, the heaviest amounts are generally seen in September (average 10 in/247 mm). Generally speaking, it is beautiful year-round!
