These figures come from general published guidance, such as the NHS and the UK Civil Aviation Authority, about typical patients. They are not advice for you. How long you stay in hospital and when you can fly home depend on your own recovery, and your treating hospital confirms both.

Your care journey to Cancun, from your city
A sourced treatment range from the table above, plus flights from your city, a room near the hospital after care, food and local transport for the patient and any companion. Each line carries its source. The passport picker below is separate: your city only suggests one.
Choose your city to price the flight. The stay, food and local transport lines are shown once an origin is chosen, so the table is always for a whole journey. Nothing is priced until you choose.
Plan the whole journey
This is information, not advice. The hospital and the government of Mexico decide.
Procedure figures are your own quote, or an indicative range from published sources; always confirm the real price in writing with the hospital. This is not a bill or an offer. How estimates work
TravelVulture is an information and discovery service, not a medical provider, hospital, or insurer. We do not give medical advice or arrange treatment, and we do not endorse any hospital. Accreditation lapses on a fixed cycle, always re-verify a hospital's current status on the official registry (JCI: jointcommission.org, NABH: nabh.co) and confirm all prices, treatment plans, and insurance coverage directly with the hospital's international patient office before making any decision or travelling.
