Hi Linda
My name is Giovanna Barrantes. I’m a Lic Attorney here in San Jose Costa Rica.
The medical system here in Costa Rica has two sectors.
Public/Private
The private hospitals are equal to the United States.
Many of the doctors have studied in the States.
Private medical insurance will run you about $150 a month.
