Costa Rica Health Care

Costa Rica's universal health care is considered one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Private care providers are very reasonably priced and world class, with many doctors that speak excellent English and who have studied abroad in Europe, Canada or the U.S. Prices for treatments in Costa Rica can be as much as 50 to 60% less than what you will find in the U.S., with the quality being the same or better. The medical landscape and hospital outlook in Costa Rica is far greater than any other country in Latin America and primary care for children is becoming the focus of the Costa Rican government.
