- Although public health exists, one of the problems is that at least 40 million Mexicans do not have social security.
- In addition, the long waiting times are another factor that encourages patients to seek other options.
- At the national level, Salud Digna stands out among the medical laboratories that offer the cheapest prices.
Prevention is the best way to avoid a wide range of diseases and illnesses. In the same way, it is necessary to go periodically to medical check-ups. To do so, there are various medical laboratories in the country, but do you know which ones offer the cheapest prices?
The good and the bad of public health
In this sense, a first option that is available to millions of people is public health. The institutions that dominate this sector are the IMSS and ISSSTE. In any of them, general or specific studies can be requested to analyze the correct state of each person.
Now, one of the main problems of public health is that one must be entitled. To date there are at least 40 million Mexicans who lack social security.
While another barrier is the part of time because sometimes an appointment must be scheduled several days or weeks in advance. While at the time of going the service is not always immediate but you must wait for hours.
Medical laboratories with the cheapest prices
Therefore, there are also other payment options in which various services can be requested. But although this is not the only aspect to consider, some Laboratories stand out because they are the ones that offer the cheapest prices.
To know the names Federal Consumer Protection Office (Profeco) carried out a national analysis. What he got was that in Mexico City Dignified Health It is the cheapest alternative because a blood chemistry study costs 320 pesos.
By comparison, within Quest Diagnostics the same service has a price of 811 pesos and in the Chopo Medical Laboratory 915 pesos.

This same situation is repeated when comparing other services such as blood count, urinalysis, thyroid profile and glycosylated hemoglobin because in all Dignified Health tops the list of laboratories with the cheapest prices.
On the other hand, when doing the analysis in other regions of the country, the results change. Within Colima the best option is Adame Cliniclab Laboratories. While in Quintana Roo San Joaquín Laboratories Clinical Analysis It is the one that offers the services at the lowest price.
While when comparing the situation in Veracruz there are divided results because there are two companies with the lowest costs. Those vying for first place are Zavala Laboratory, Dolphin, Ibañez With Laquims Laboratory. In some services the first is cheaper and in others the second is the best option.
For its part, beyond prices, it is very important to have the culture of going to periodic medical check-ups. It is always better than waiting until you have severe symptoms or pain because it may be too late.
