We’ve been very impressed by the accessibility of the Mexican healthcare system for minor illnesses and infections. It takes less than 30 minutes to get checked out by a doctor, receive prescriptions, and buy your pills. And that includes the time it takes to walk back and forth from your hotel to the doctors office\/pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Basically, almost all pharmacies have a doctor’s office right next door. You just walk into the doctor’s office and pay 30 pesos ($2.40) for a consultation. (We’ve never waited more than 5 minutes to see the doctor.) After being checked out, you walk next door to the pharmacy with your prescription and buy your pills, which are also extremely cheap.<\/p>\n

The total, out-of-pocket, medical cost for when I got a bacterial infection was around $16. I wish it was this fast and cheap in the US.<\/p>\n
