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

General information

The station logo represents the caduceus, a variant of the Rod of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine.^[2] Its name refers to the Centro Médico Siglo XXI general hospital, located above the metro station.^[4]^[5]^[6] The station opened along Line 3 on 7 June 1980 when Centro Médico served briefly as the southern terminus of that line.^[7] Line 3 service then extended further southward toward Zapata a year later by 25 August 1980.^[7] The Centro Médico Siglo XXI was almost destroyed by the 1985 earthquake.^[8] The station served as the western terminus of Line 9 (which went east towards Pantitlán) starting on 26 August 1987.^[7] Westward service on Line 9 toward Tacubaya started a year later on 29 August 1988.^[7]

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.^[2]

Centro Médico serves the Roma Sur, Doctores and Buenos Aires neighbourhoods.^[2] 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.^[9]^[10] 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.^[9]^[10]^[11]
