AngelesHealth, one of the leading medical tourism companies in Mexico, is proud to feature Hospital CYNTAR as part of its hospital network and the only Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospital in Tijuana. JCI is the international division of Joint Commission Resources that sets standards and resources for hospital’s to improve quality of care and patient safety.

JCI accreditation is an important step for our network of hospitals and Medical Travel program. It will add to the reassurance factor so important to the medical travel process.

Although in the past years, AngelesHealth has worked with more than 6,000 medical travelers from the US, Canada, and Europe, we know that testing our high standards and raising the bar wherever possible will ensure our patient-centric approach to patient care will continue to lift our organization to an even greater leadership position in the medical travel industry.

AngelesHealth already serves an ex-pat community of more than 30,000 Americans who have for decades relying on AngelesHealth to meet their primary medical and surgical care needs. The Rosarito region is a city with thousands of Americans who are local regulars according to the large staff of medical specialists at many hospitals in Tijuana – particularly in the areas of cardiovascular and orthopedic surgery.

Although lack of JCI accreditation is not an indicator of a lack of quality for a medical care facility, we believe that JCI accreditation demonstrates to our patients compliance with the highest standards in patient care and safety, in full compliance with International Patient Safety Goal requirements. For patients seeking medical care abroad, the JCI accreditation provides a third party quantifiable measure of the standard of care at an otherwise unfamiliar hospital.

According to executives quoted on the JCI website, accreditation is now being looked upon by insurers, government and nongovernment agencies, and global employers as a way to gauge whether a healthcare organization is a safe one for their constituents such as Medical Tourism patients.
