Hospital
San Antonio
Lake Chapala, Mexico
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Medical care at Lakeside
has been improving steadily for decades now. Clinics are ubiquitous, and there
are a few new hospitals dotting the Lake area.
A brand new hospital has
opened up in the Lakeside town of San Antonio Tlayacapan, just 4 kilometers from
Chapala.
I was recently given a tour.
I hope you find the
information below to be useful to you.
Entrance to Hospital San
Antonio
I met with Ana Comacho
early one morning, and gathered up all the hospital brochures and the medical
doctors' business cards.
Combing through the
literature, I saw happy, smiling doctors promising timely medical care with
medical excellence and human sense.
The hospital also
wanted to offer pricing that is attractive to the locals and to those
international visitors who live here and those who come for
Medical Tourism
treatment.
Hey, that sounded pretty
good.
Parking area and medical
businesses that work with the hospital
Also on the printed
information was a list of services this hospital offered.
They have 24/7 care
available, they treat respiratory allergies, and they have angiology and
cardiology departments. Of course they do general surgery, but they also do
spine surgery,
Maxillofacial surgery, and Plastic surgery.
The list went on:
Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Internal medicine, Nephrology, Neurology,
Ophthalmology, Oncology, Otolaryngology, Rheumatology, Urology, Traumatology and
Orthopedics.
There are a number of
doctor's offices located either in the hospital or here at the compound. There
is also a
Laboratory, Operating rooms, ER services 24/7, Imaging unit,
Hemodialysis unit and an ICU unit.
A
Blood bank
and a Hemodynamic unit were both coming soon.
As you can see here in the
photo, Quality Care which is a group of doctor's offices and
Guadalajara
Farmacia are also located in the compound.
With a list like this, it's
easy to believe there will be a solid future for this hospital.
Hopefully patients won't
have to travel to crowded, traffic-tied Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco,
thereby saving much time.
Waiting room area
The waiting room was
spacious and airy. The check-in desk is to the right, outside the photo.
A
Podiatrist, and a Dermatologist are also located in the compound.
Inside the hospital is a
restaurant and coffee shop open for visitors of patients there as
well as for anyone who cares to come from outside who would like to have a meal.
There is also a Chapel
available.
Contact information for the
Hospital, as well as names of Doctors working here at the Hospital are listed
below.
Private hospital room
Hospital San Antonio offers 9 hospital beds, 5 of them with this view, and 4
with private terraces.
Antonia is the head nurse should you need anything, and the
hospital tries to have someone who speaks English on staff at all times.
The couch and reclining chair are for
family members who wish to stay with the patient overnight. It is very common in
Latin countries to have family stay the evening to comfort their loved one.
Room with heart
defibrillator
They also offer an MRI, X-ray, Mammography, Ultrasound, and CT
Scan, Colonoscopy and endoscopy services
Here you see a heart care machine if someone is unconscious or
has heart attack
The emergency entrance is only a few
feet away from this room.
Emergency room entrance
There is a 24/7 Emergency Doctor always on duty, and here is where Covid testing
is done.
This man is waiting outside for his Covid results.
Sign advertising the
Hospital's
services and accepting foreign insurances
The hospital takes a variety of foreign insurances.
There is an office inside
the hospital to discuss which ones they take, and you can sign in for your particular
coverage and speak with a representative.
Annual Medical Packages
available
Here you see a list of
annual Medical Packages that Hospital San Antonio offers.
These packages can be very
convenient for the patient, whether they have medical insurance or not.
