Medical Facilities in the Area

Merida has always been the Region’s center for medical services and boasts an impressive array of modern hospitals and clinics staffed by highly qualified doctors and nursing personnel. The University of Yucatan in the State capital has had for generations one of the best medical schools in Mexico. Postgraduate training is often undertaken in the USA and most doctors are fluent English speakers.

Residents will find that as well as facilities and treatment being first class costs are a fraction of what they would be in the USA or Canada with health insurance schemes being readily available. The best hospitals in Merida includes the Clinica Merida, the new Star Medical Center and the Centro Medico de las Americas (CEMA) whilst in Progreso the Centro Medico Americano can be found.

The Clinica Merida’s own literature stresses ”the C de M has developed into a Centro Hospitalario de Excelencia Medica whose facilities include the most advanced diagnostics teams and the most modern forms of technology which facilitates speedy evaluations and ensures the most effective treatment."

At Flamingo Lakes there will be a Clinic located at the center of the village, staffed and managed by full time medical personnel to offer Residents reassurance and peace of mind.
