Mazatlan Healthcare

Atlantic Health International Hospital in Mazatlan

With many Americans unable to access or afford quality health care in the United States, medical tourism is on the rise. While medical tourism is not just a North American phenomenon, it is certainly growing rapidly in popularity in the United States as a result of the problems with the current healthcare system. Medical tourism involves traveling to other countries to seek medical services such as surgeries, dental procedures and physical therapy which are available at a fraction of the cost of those same services in the United States.

Durango – Mazatlan Highway 2012

When it is completed in 2012, the Baluarte River Bridge will not only be the highest bridge in North America but the highest cable stayed bridge in the world surpassing the Millau Viaduct in France. It is the crown jewel of the greatest bridge and tunnel highway project ever undertaken in North America. Known as the Durango-Mazatlán highway, it will be the only crossing for more than 500 miles (800 km) between the pacific coast and the interior of Mexico. The path of this new highway roughly parallels the famous “Devil’s Backbone”, a narrow road that earned its nickname from the way it follows the precarious ridge crest of the jagged peaks of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains. The dangerous road is a seemingly endless onslaught of twisting, terrifying turns that are so tight there are times the road nearly spirals back into itself.
