Steps to qualify for surgery

All surgical missions are scheduled in advance. To qualify for one, follow these steps:

  1. 1

    General Outpatient Consultation

    The patient must attend the General Outpatient Clinic for triage. You can request an appointment by phone at +502 7832-0883 or come to the hospital for a number; numbers are handed out starting at 7:00 a.m.

  2. 2

    Personal documents

    Present personal identification (DPI or birth certificate) at the admissions window.

  3. 3

    Specialist appointment

    If referred to a Specialist, the specialty outpatient secretary will schedule your appointment based on availability.

  4. 4

    Pre-operative evaluation

    If you are over 40 or have chronic illnesses, you will be evaluated by our Internist, who performs the pre-operative assessment and approves the operation.

  5. 5

    Surgery scheduling

    You will be referred to a surgical mission if — and only if — you meet the health conditions required for surgery. A date is assigned according to the mission waiting list.

Patients undergo a socioeconomic assessment to determine the donation amount for their surgery.

Appointments by phone: +502 7832-0883
