Centro Médico is an underground metro station on the Mexico City Metro.[1] [2] It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City.[1] It is a transfer station for both Lines 3 and 9.[1] [2]

General information

The station logo represents the caduceus, a variant of the Rod of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine.[1] Its name refers to the Centro Médico Siglo XXI general hospital, located above the metro station.[3] [4] [5] The station opened along Line 3 on 7 June 1980 when Centro Médico served briefly as the southern terminus of that line.[6] Line 3 service then extended further southward toward Zapata a year later by 25 August 1980.[6] The Centro Médico Siglo XXI was almost destroyed by the 1985 earthquake.[7] The station served as the western terminus of Line 9 (which went east towards Pantitlán) starting on 26 August 1987.[6] Westward service on Line 9 toward Tacubaya started a year later on 29 August 1988.[6]

The station is directly connected to the main entrance of Centro Médico by a set of escalators. This metro station has facilities for the handicapped, a cultural display, and an information desk.[1]

Centro Médico serves the Roma Sur, Doctores and Buenos Aires neighbourhoods.[1] It is located at the intersection of Avenida Cuauhtemoc and Eje 3 Sur Baja California, just a block north of Viaducto Miguel Alemán, an important east-west highway.[8] [9] The southern exits at the Line 3 end of the station are close to the historic Panteón Francés (French Cemetery) in which important civil and military Mexican figures are buried.[8] [9] [10]
