Mexico — Healthcare: Major Hospitals
Mexico City hosts the majority of the country's top hospitals — 10 of the top 12 nationally per Newsweek's Best Hospitals list — led by MédicaSur (ranked best in Mexico in Newsweek's World's Best Specialized Hospitals), plus Centro Médico ABC (American British Cowdray Medical Center, with a Santa Fe campus) and Hospitales Ángeles, both known for modern equipment and English-speaking staff. Guadalajara is the other major hub in the national top 10, led by Hospital Puerta de Hierro (Joint Commission accredited), alongside Hospital San Javier and Christus Muguerza Alta Especialidad. Private hospitals in both cities generally offer English-speaking doctors, often trained in the US or Canada, and English-fluent support staff.
