WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Non-profits Medical Tourism Association (www.medicaltourismassociation.com) and Monterrey Health Care City (www.monterreyciudaddelasalud.com.mx) have partnered together to create the 1st Latin America Medical Tourism and Health Tourism Congress, which occurs April 27-29th, 2009 in Monterrey, Mexico at the Intercontinental Presidente. Monterrey is known as one of the top destinations of medical tourism in Latin America, has several JCI Accredited hospitals and is the location of one of the first established "Healthcare Cities" in the world.

The 1st Latin America Medical Tourism Congress will feature up to 400 attendees from over 25 countries and will focus on the high quality of healthcare and advanced medical technology available in Latin America.
