The Mexican border town of Mexicali is making a push dor more tourists drom the American Shouthwest to visit that city’s dentists, surgeons and doctors. Starting April 30, medical tourists from the U.S. with the right documents will be able to skip much of the wait on the MExican side of the border by using a new designated medical tourism lane.

«So you can drive to Mexicali, take care of your health, and you can only do 20 minutes to cross the border instead of two hours»

Foreign patients will be able to request a pass from Mexican doctors who are participating in the program. That pass, plus a doctor’s receipt and foreign license plates, will allow patients access to the special lane. Once in the lane, vehicles are supposed to be able to bypass the traffic on the Mexican side of the border crossing, and cut to nearly the front of the line.
