Although some 40,000 Americans underwent surgical procedures in Mexico last year, the country needs more certified hospitals if the potential for medical tourism is to be developed, experts say. Only 74 of the 3,700 private hospitals in the country have been certified so that insurance companies in the United States can benefit from the lower fees available in Mexico. “Hospitals have not been certified because they do not know how to go about it,” explained Jaime Carter, president of Health Diagnostic Systems.
