ospi-TAL AN-hel-es. Eleven storeys on Paseo de los Héroes in the Zona Río, the built-up river district of Tijuana, with a heliport on the roof of the tower beside it.

An eleven-storey private hospital of 29,108 square metres in the Zona Río of Tijuana, opened in 2005 and run by Grupo Ángeles, Mexico's largest private hospital company. It stands about twenty minutes' drive from the San Ysidro border crossing, which is the fact that puts it in this directory.

The story Cited

The hospital was built between 2002 and 2004 and opened in 2005, mixed-use — medical centre and office space — and among the tallest buildings in Tijuana's central business district. It was the first hospital in the city with a heliport, on the roof of a connected five-storey tower.

What the encyclopaedia entry does not carry, and what could not be sourced for this record, is a bed count, an accreditation, or a patient number of any kind.

Inference — the gap is worth stating rather than filling. Tijuana is the most-written-about border medical market in the world and its largest private hospital publishes less about itself than a 209-bed cancer centre outside Istanbul does. The traffic across San Ysidro is measured by border agencies and by researchers, not by the hospitals.

What is measured, and measured carefully, is what goes wrong. The United States Centers for Disease Control investigated an outbreak of extensively drug-resistant carbapenemase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa among American patients who had bariatric surgery in Tijuana, and published it in Emerging Infectious Diseases. That investigation names clinics in the city; it does not name this hospital.

How it works Trade practice

Trade practice — the Tijuana route is short and largely unaccompanied by an airline: a patient drives or walks across at San Ysidro or Otay Mesa, is collected on the Mexican side, is operated on within a day or two, and returns across the border within a week. Bariatric surgery and dentistry carry most of it. The consequence is structural rather than clinical — the follow-up happens in another country's health system, and the surgeon who operated has no way to see the patient again.

Grupo Ángeles publishes no price for the Tijuana hospital.
