What are healthcare services like in San Jose?

"San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, offers numerous state-funded healthcare services. The city has several large public hospitals, as well as smaller clinics and specialty centers. There are also multiple private healthcare facilities within the city. Healthcare staff in San Jose are known for their compassion and excellent patient care. The services available in the city are comprehensive, ranging from basic care to specialty services such as cancer treatment. San Jose also hosts a variety of specialists, including allergists, cardiologists, and neurosurgeons," remarked another expat who made the move to San Jose, Costa Rica, Costa Rica.

"My insurance provides coverage at Hospital Biblical, a private hospital with an excellent reputation. It is not close: two buses and a short walk. Or a 6,000 colon cab ride ($11.50). Minor things like colds, infections, etc I go to the pharmacy," explained one expat living in San Jose, Costa Rica.
