About AZAR Specialty Hospital
The AZAR Specialty Hospital project was a vision of Dr. Ron Elli since 2007. The design and preparation for this hybrid surgical/hospital center started in 2021 and is set to be completed in 2023. Ron Elli helped design this cutting-edge bariatric/cosmetic hospital alongside the greatest infusion clinic architects in the world. With the adoption of best practices in medical tourism and state-of-the-art medical technology, their goal was to create one of the top 10 bariatric centers in Tijuana, Mexico. A bariatric and plastic center that could rival and exceed the standards of other facilities like the Hospital del Prado, Sanoviv, CER, Angeles, Vida Wellness, Blue Medical, Oasis of Hope, Blue Medical, and Medical Tower (New City).
The new facility includes four operating rooms, an expanded recovery area with six beds, 40 rooms, an Intermediate Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an in-house laboratory & X-Ray department, and a fully-stocked pharmacy. The facility has a backup power plant, a water-filtration system, in-door parking, a deluxe spa, and more. AZAR Specialty Hospital is also one of Mexico’s most eco-friendly bariatric facilities, with 20% of the hospital’s electricity running on green energy.
What to Expect as a Patient
Located in the heart of the Tijuana medical district, this new hospital center keeps the medical traveler in mind. Each recovery room is fully furnished, and the ample hallways are specially built for patients to have proper space to travel and recover after surgery. The specialized surgery center has public and private lobbies for patients’ convenience. While staying in the hospital, patients can also enjoy Tijuana’s 360° panoramic views.
Patients enter the hospital through the lobby and an exclusive underground parking structure when they arrive. They are welcomed into the cozy, open-spaced lobby, which includes elevators that lead into the patient intake room. After pre-op testing, patients can explore the shops, malls, and other tourist destinations nearby before staying the first night at the hotel. On the second day, patients undergo their procedure and then recover for the next 2-3 nights. On the day of departure, patients are driven back to the airport.
Patients receive free transportation to and from the hotel and hospital as part of their surgery package.
Hospital Features and Amenities
AZAR Specialty Hospital Accreditations
Before opening this brand-new facility, AZAR Specialty Hospital received the Federal Committee for Protection from Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) license and became a fully-accredited bariatric hospital.
The Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks, Cofepris (Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios, is a regulatory, decentralized and autonomous body of the Mexican government. It is supervised by the Mexican Secretariat of Health to regulate a variety of health related topics in Mexico, including health facilities.
Cofeprise stringent requirements for healthcare facilities mimic the ones from JCI (Joint Commission International). Certification by the Mexican authorities is as good as any International patient care and safety standard.
Hospital Name Inspiration
Azar, the mother of Ron Elli, inspires the name of this advanced medical center. Ron dedicated this center to celebrating his mother’s life as a woman of faith, integrity, and motivation. She has been a teacher, guide, and mentor for her kids and all her students throughout her life.
Azar or Atash has Persian origin meaning “fire,” which refers to holly fire and light. Zoroastrian, ancient Iranians, praised fire in their temples as a symbol of purity and truth.
“I am deeply grateful for my success to my mother, Azar, for her teaching me hard work, honesty, and discipline. She dedicated her life to standing for all the values she taught us,” says Ron.
