Metro Centro Médico is a metro station on the Mexico City Metro. It is located in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City. It is a transfer station for both Lines 3 and 9
The station logo represents the caduceus, a variant of the Rod of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine. Its name refers to the Centro Médico Siglo XXI general hospital, located above the metro station. The Centro Médico Siglo XXI was almost destroyed by the 1985 earthquake.
Metro Centro Médico 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.
Metro Centro Médico serves the Roma Sur neighbourhood. It is located at the intersection of Avenida Cuauhtemoc and Eje 3 Sur Baja California, just a block north of Viaducto Miguel Aleman, an important east-west highway. The southern exits at the Line 3 end of the station are close to the historic Panteon Frances (French Cemetery) in which important civil and military Mexican figures are buried.
