Health Tourism & Clinics

Monterrey hosted the main binational health tourism congress, and Doctors Hospital Grupo Auna moved to the center of the conversation by serving as the event's host. That prominence came at a time when medical tourism is seeking to consolidate as an industry with heavyweight players.

In the same week, Grupo Médico Joya announced a strategic alliance with HM Hospitales to provide continued international care for its patients, a move that strengthened HM's presence in the Mexico-Spain corridor. Médica Sur kept a visible profile on its events calendar, while Hospital Vallarta Medical Center was cited as a key piece of the medical travel ecosystem in Puerto Vallarta, expanding the map beyond Mexico City and Monterrey. Hospital Ángeles appeared as a hospitalization reference on medical tourism routes, and Mexico Bariatric Center made headlines again for complex procedures and clinical alliances in Tijuana. Centro Médico ABC solidified its position as a visible brand for domestic and international patients seeking premium care, while Hospital Azar and Christus Muguerza maintained their presence in clinical exchanges and in offerings aimed at traveling patients.

The trend this group outlines is competition moving toward continuity of care, international alliances and regional presence. For those who cross borders for surgery, the question is no longer just where they will be treated, but who accompanies the process before and after returning home.
