Medic Alert System

My mother is an elderly person who lives in Mazatlan, El Centro area, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a medical alert system there. The type where she can wear a necklace that you push a button if you fall down and can't get up. She is 98 years young and lives by herself. Any info would be appreciated so much!!

Welcome to ex-pat Mexico cologal,

Mexico has a 911 type system but I have not heard of a medic alert system, I have observed a volunteer group that checks in on the elderly frail in my city. There have been several people here in their 90.s. I will ask around and see what I can find out,

ok cologal,

I checked and there seems to be something like that in Merida. They suggested you should check with

I think you're out of luck. Unless you are in a big city, ambulance service at best is very basic. They do not have EMT's on board, so until you get to a hospital you might be dead.
