This section addresses the concerns and questions that people and their families often face when they have been repatriated or are in the process. Identify your case and know the options you have to solve it.
The repatriation of patients is carried out when a Mexican national is in a critical state of health, lacks the means to continue with specialized care in the United States and hospitals report their status to the Embassy or Consulate to carry out a safe repatriation of the affected person.
It is important to note that to the extent possible, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinates with the health authorities the assistance to continue treatment at the place of origin, but the SRE is not responsible for and does not cover the expenses arising from the medical care of the patient abroad or in Mexico, and the admission and care of patients in Mexico depends on the hospital capacities of the health authorities.
If you have difficulty locating a family member of Mexican nationality who is abroad, or you believe that you face a difficulty that prevents them from communicating with you (due to detention, illness or accident), Consulates can assist you in locating Mexican persons abroad.
It is important to try to locate the person with the address or phone numbers he or she provided when leaving. If it is not possible to locate the person, go to the Consular Office, Embassy of Mexico or office of the nearest Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) and inform about the person's situation.
