Draft talk:Medical tourism in Tijuana

Suggestions for improving the article

1. add reliable sources

Several sections still need proper references. Editors can enhance the article by incorporating credible sources such as:

• Government agencies – e.g., COFEPRIS, CDC, U.S. State Department
• Reputable news outlets – e.g., San Diego Union-Tribune, BBC, Reuters
• Academic studies – research on cross-border healthcare and medical tourism trends

2. expand economic impact data

The **$1.7 billion revenue estimate** lacks a **verified source**. Editors should look for reports from:

• Mexican Health Ministry
• Baja California Tourism Board
• Economic studies related to **medical tourism in Tijuana**

3. verify cost comparison section

The cost estimates for medical procedures may **vary over time**. Editors should update this section using **2024-2025 pricing data** from:

• Medical clinics and hospitals
• Healthcare reports
• News articles on cost comparisons

4. improve the "controversies and criticism" section

There have been **reports of malpractice, patient deaths, and fraudulent clinics**. To ensure **neutrality and accuracy**, editors should:

• Include well-sourced cases where available
• Ensure a balanced perspective by citing regulatory efforts and patient safety initiatives

5. check for more notable clinics & hospitals

The notable hospitals and clinics section could be expanded with:

• additional well-known medical facilities in Tijuana
• accredited hospitals recognized for medical tourism
