2) Why should I opt for private healthcare in Mexico?
Private hospitals and clinics in Mexico are better equipped and provide 
high quality care. They provide better access to specialised healthcare 
procedures. If you are a registered member of Lakeside Medical Group, 
you can enjoy hassle-free access to Managed Care and emergency care 
across the country. Utilising our services, you can avoid the long waiting 
periods commonly associated with healthcare in Mexico’s public system.

first see you in our medical office. If needed, referrals will be made to 
other hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres or specialists where your 
insurance plan benefits will be accepted. We not only own and operate 
our facilities in Mexico, but also have a team of specialists, pharmacies, 
diagnostic centres, laboratories, emergency rooms and independent 
contracted hospitals.
