Who licenses clinics in Los Algodones
Los Algodones is in State of Baja California (municipality of Mexicali) (Estado de Baja California (municipio de Mexicali)).
Regional authority
State Commission for Protection against Health Risks of Baja California (COEPRIS)
Comisión Estatal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios de Baja California
The state sanitary authority: under its 2023 agreement with COFEPRIS it verifies and rules on private surgeries, dental surgeries, clinics and hospitals, following COFEPRIS rules.
Regional register
COEPRIS: state register of health and wellbeing service providers (REPSSABI)
A state list with the registration number, business name, municipality, address, classification, dates and status. It is not complete: a clinic missing from it is not unlicensed for that reason; check the COFEPRIS list of licensed surgical establishments too.

The national registers for Mexico cover Los Algodones too:
Doctors
Ministry of Education: national register of professionals (cédula profesional)
Search a doctor's or dentist's name to see their professional licence and, for a surgeon, the specialist licence (cédula de especialista).
Clinics
COFEPRIS: list of licences for establishments where surgery is performed
A downloadable list (PDF, updated 30 September 2026) of the establishments with a sanitary licence for surgical or obstetric acts, with their address, state, licence number and date. Search the file for the clinic's name and address. Not every clinic is on it: an establishment that does not need a licence files an aviso de funcionamiento instead, so ask the clinic which one applies and for a copy.
Is the clinic in the official register of Mexico?
Type part of the clinic's name, or the CLUES key (11 letters and digits). We answer only whether it is in the CLUES catalogue of health establishments (Secretaría de Salud, DGIS), private-sector units, as of 30 Sep 2026: we never rank or recommend a clinic. Individual doctors' practices are shown with the name abbreviated.
