A few figures on health insurance in Mexico
| Number of public hospitals | 1 381 |
| Number of private hospitals | 2 960 |
| Number of doctors per 1,000 inhabitants | 2,5 |
Mexico’s healthcare system is therefore a complex mix of public and private services. With over 4,000 hospitals in the country, healthcare coverage is extensive but often uneven in terms of quality and access. Indeed, the ratio of doctors underlines the importance of good health insurance to guarantee fast and efficient access to medical care. Buying expatriate insurance in Mexico with Mondassur means you’ll benefit from optimal coverage and top-quality healthcare services, tailored to your specific needs as an expatriate in Mexico.
How Mexico's healthcare system works :
Mexico has a two-tier healthcare system: public and private. Understanding this system is therefore crucial to navigating the different coverage options. That’s why, once you understand this, you’ll have access to the best possible care. The public system mainly comprises IMSS and ISSSTE. On the other hand, the private sector offers alternatives for those seeking high-quality care without the delays often associated with public services.

Public health insurance
Social protection in Mexico is mainly managed by two institutions: the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and the Institute of Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE). The IMSS covers the majority of salaried workers in the private sector. ISSSTE, on the other hand, covers public-sector employees. These institutions enable Mexicans to be covered. This system includes consultations, hospitalization, medication and preventive care. However, waiting times can be long, and the quality of care varies from facility to facility. Expatriates can join the IMSS for an annual fee. However, we recommend that you supplement this coverage with private insurance for faster access and higher quality care.
Private health insurance
Private health insurance in Mexico is therefore a popular option for expatriates seeking high-quality care with short waiting times. Private insurers therefore offer more extensive coverage. In addition, services in private hospitals and clinics are excellent, comparable to U.S. standards of care. The quality of care is excellent, with doctors often trained abroad. This option guarantees fast, personalized access to care. Expatriate health insurance in Mexico is a must for expatriates looking for complete peace of mind. Mondassur will support you in your expatriation to America, with insurance policies to suit all your needs.
Healthcare facilities in Mexico
Mexico boasts a wide variety of healthcare facilities, from public hospitals to luxury private clinics. Public facilities are accessible, but can be underfunded, leading to long waiting times and sometimes obsolete equipment. In contrast, private clinics and hospitals offer high-quality services, although costs are significantly higher. The availability of care is generally good, with many doctors having international training, particularly in the USA. However, the density of care centers relative to the population can vary considerably from one region to another, making access to quality care quite uneven. To avoid long waits and guarantee the best care, we advise you to take out suitable health insurance, such as that offered by Mondassur.
