Earlier this week, Gabriela Martínez Hernández, a lawyer for Amerimed Cancún Hospital, issued a statement saying the hospital “never has, and never will, refuse to release a nonpaying patient for financial reasons. It is unethical and against the law.”
Amerimed Cancún Hospital is part of Amerimed Hospitales, a chain of private hospitals throughout Mexico. Two of the system’s facilities in Los Cabos were closed down by Mexican officials earlier this year due to predatory business practices and billing.
