At just one check point in Yuma-Arizona, up to 6,000 Americans cross the border every day and enter the bustling Mexican town of Los Algodones, seeking health care services.

Unlike the Trump administration that seeks to build a wall between both countries, Los Algodones welcomes Americans seeking medical and/or dental care with open arms. Figures from the last Mexico´s economic census, in Los Algodones municipality there are more dentists per capita than anywhere else in the world.

On the other hand, according to the Secretariat of Tourism (SECTUR for its acronym in Spanish), Yucatan received more than 2.2 million tourists in 2018, out of those around 700,000 went to Merida City looking for affordable healthcare.

Mexico with places like Los Algodones or the southern city of Mérida, a fast-growing municipality and one of Mexico´s safest cities and most technologically advanced places, have quickly become a major source of relief for those seeking better and cheaper medical services.
