Hospital San José Tec de Monterrey, established in 1969, has since grown
into one of Latin America’s finest medical facilities. The hospital now has
200 beds (including 11 master suites and 96 junior suites in the tower),
38 intensive care beds, and 21 emergency beds. More than 1,500 affiliated
physicians and about 500 nurses treat approximately 15,000 inpatients and
92,000 outpatients at San José Tec annually, including 1,400 international
patients (800 from the US and Canada). Physicians and staff members
speak English, French, and Spanish. More than 90 percent of the doctors
have worked at US or European hospitals. The hospital’s five centers of excellence
are cardiology, oncology, neuroscience, organ transplant, and liver
disease. The most frequently performed procedures are general surgeries,
gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), LAP-BAND, breast imaging, robotic-assisted
surgery, prostate surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy.
San José Tec’s specialized surgical unit has 11 “intelligent operating
rooms” designed for the most complex medical procedures. Its state-ofthe-art
emergency room coordinates with a medical transport network
(hospital, land ambulance, air ambulance) that covers the entire continent.
Modern medical equipment at San José Tec includes the ophthalmologic
surgery unit’s cutting-edge microscope and sophisticated excimer laser,
YAG laser, and Nd Zeiss argon laser systems. Zeiss OPMI NC-4 microscope
