Where your surgery actually takes place
We visited and inspected the major private hospitals and clinics in Mexico City before choosing the ones we work with. These are the standards they had to meet.
"Accredited private hospital" is not good enough on its own
Every medical tourism website says it. Almost none of them name the building. You are entitled to know where you would be operated on, who accredited it, and what that accreditation actually covers — before you book a flight.
Ask us and we will tell you. The hospital depends on your procedure and on which surgeon takes your case, so the honest answer comes after the surgical assessment rather than in advance on a web page.
When you come for surgery with the OSM network, every facility used has been accredited to national and international quality standards, and every clinic undergoes inspection by Mexico's National Health Department.
What the facilities have to meet
-
Accredited facilities
Every hospital in the network is accredited to national and international quality standards, and inspected by Mexico’s National Health Department.
-
Dedicated orthopedic areas
Orthopedic patients are treated in operating rooms and recovery wards separate from those used for infectious cases, to minimise cross-contamination risk.
-
Full anesthesia teams
Modern anesthesia machines and monitoring, with a dedicated anesthesiologist team rather than shared cover.
-
Private rooms
Private bathroom, Wi-Fi and space for a companion to stay with you during the hospital portion of your care.
The separation that matters most
Of everything on this page, one item does more for your safety than the rest combined: orthopedic patients are operated on and recover in areas kept separate from patients being treated for infectious disease.
Joint replacement and spine surgery involve implants, and an implant infection is the complication that turns a good result into a long, expensive problem. Physical separation of the surgical pathway is the single most effective protection against it, and it is a question worth asking any hospital — here or at home.
After surgery, in the hospital
You stay in hospital under observation for as long as your procedure requires, in a private room with space for a companion. Patients are monitored closely during the first days, when early complications would appear, and you consult with your surgeon about follow-up care and rehabilitation before you move to the hotel.
From there, a physician visits your hotel room six days a week for the rest of your stay.
Ask which hospital your procedure would take place in
The answer depends on your procedure and your surgeon. Ask before you commit — you are entitled to know the name of the building you will be operated in.
