The Health Tourism Corporation of Costa Rica

Health tourism is an old concept--people have been traveling from their home countries to other parts of the world for centuries in search of personal, specific and new medical treatments. The reasons for this interesting form of tourism are as varied as the travelers. People choose Costa Rica for medical services for two main reasons: high quality and reasonable prices.

Costa Rica is easily accessible by air from all parts of the world. It has an open health care system, well-equipped modern clinics and hospitals, and medical personnel trained in the finest international teaching centers. In 1995 the World Health Organization ranked Costa Rica in the top twenty, among the finest medical systems in the world.

The Health Tourism Corporation of Costa Rica, with the full support of the Costa Rican medical community and the Costa Rica Tourist Board (ICT), is the most appropriate and experienced gateway through which the health tourist may access any part of the Costa Rican medical system.
