A number shown on a clinic's site is a claim until it is looked up. Mexico's professional licenses (cédulas) are issued by the Secretaría de Educación Pública and searchable by name or number on its registry, which in our tests did not answer from connections outside Mexico. Ask the clinic for a screenshot of the registry entry, or run the search from a Mexican connection before treatment. SEP Registro Nacional de Profesionistas.
Accreditation and membership claims
Claims as the clinic states them, with where each can be checked. A logo on a website is not a listing in an accreditor's register.
Joint Commission International
'fully certified by the Joint Commission International (JCI) three times'; also claims 'licensed to provide care and treatment as a hospital'
Claimed on the clinic's site.
How to check: public list of accredited organizations at Joint Commission International.
