Medical tourism in spotlight after Mexico kidnapping

Visitors from the United States walk past a dental office in downtown Los Algodones, near the US-Mexico border in 2017 © GUILLERMO ARIAS / AFP/File Washington (AFP) – As reports swirl around the recent kidnapping in Mexico of four Americans, two of whom were killed, one detail has drawn particular attention -- they had crossed the border for a medical procedure.
