“Mexico: Health and Safety Travel Guide has hands-on practical information that is easy to access and understand, as well as a directory of recommended hospitals and English-speaking doctors. A real innovation and surprise to me was the well-researched section on ‘Navigating the Mexican Health-Care System.’ This is useful to long-stay visitors and residents. It even contains information on ‘How to Get Health Insurance in Mexico’ and ‘How to Apply for IMSS.’ Lastly, the hospitals and doctors directory takes up the bulk of the guidebook. None paid to be included in the guidebook, and writers of the book held face-to-face interviews with each one. This is a great boost to the book’s credibility” (read complete article).
