Business Travel Medical   Tourism Costa Rica

    Medical Tourism in Costa Rica is an excellent  choice for the patients seeking  high quality operations, excellent service at  an affordable price. 

        Costa Rica boasts 3 of the top Joint Commission International ( JCI) accredited Hospitals outside North America.

     The first in this prestigious and hard to obtain golden stamp of approval was Hospital Clinica Biblica who gained their accreditation in October of 2007.  They paved the way for Hospital CIMA and La Catolica who were accredited in May 2008 and June of 2009 respectively.

     Plastic Surgery in Costa Rica:

      Costa Rica has been one of Hollywoods best kept secret to get since the 70′s!  The biggest form of advertisement  has been by the testimonies of former patients. Costa Rica is known for its high standards of safety and exceptional quality.  Patients cannot say enough praise about their experience.  Over the last decade, Costa Rica has evolved from being a mere eco-tourism destination and emerged as a country of choice for various medical procedures by foreigners, particularly from United States and Canada.

     We insure you of a safe and effective procedure by a certified doctor with a quick and healthy recovery.  Patients should start by talking with their family doctor and then start researching the options that other countries offer.  Talk with former patients of these doctors and look for documentation that give some credibility to the doctor you are considering.  Check out the facilities where the doctors perform the plastic surgery and see if they have all of the latest technology.  Ultimately it is left up to each individual to decide if the risks outweigh the benefits of plastic surgery overseas. 

     According to Promed (the Council for the Promotion of Medicine in Costa Rica), there were approximately 22,000 US citizens who visited Costa Rica in 2008 for medical procedures.

     These figures accounted for mostly  people aged over 50 who were seeking affordable medical services including dental, cosmetic, infertility treatments.

      Medical Tourists can receive better reassurance against malpractice in Costa Rica as compared to most medical travel destinations. This is because most dentists, physicians and clinics are required to have and maintain professional liability insurance during the course of their practice. Any malpractice claims can be initiated through the court system as required under the laws of Costa Rica. Additionally, medical travelers are encouraged to purchase comprehensive medical coverage options offered by certified international insurance companies to medical tourists and their travel companions.

     Clinica Biblica Hospital is the largest and most prestigious private hospital in Costa Rica.

     There are over 200 skilled physicians performing a wide variety of medical procedures daily, with a majority of the physicians being board certified and with an English speaking coordinator and staff.

     The Hospital Clinica Biblica possesses many years of experience serving a large international community of ex patriots, as well as an ever-growing number of tourists.  Currently over 20% of the people who visit the hospital are foreigners.

     They anticipate your particular needs and concerns, allowing you to concentrate more fully on your recovery. Their range of health amenities, availability of staff and personalized health care service will assure you a unique experience at a fraction of the cost compared to most countries.

     Clinica Biblica Hospital is affiliated with the Ochsner Medical Institutions located in New Orleans, Louisiana as well as Mount Sinai, Florida and Tulane Medical Center, New Orleans.

Hospital CIMA San Jose

CIMA was the first hospital certified by the Ministry of Health in Costa Rica in Quality.
In 1999, The President of Costa Rica Dr. Miguel Angel Rodriguez inaugurated CIMA San Jose Hospital before it began operations at the end of the first quarter of 2000. This three-story hospital was constructed with two main levels. The first level includes a large outpatient medical department, with a variety of advanced diagnostic and treatment services and modalities including chemotherapy and hemodialysis; a radiology department, an emergency department; private exam and consultation rooms; and a fully equipped modern surgery department and recovery facility.

    Adjacent to the hospital is a seven-story medical office building. The ground level houses the hospital’s physical therapy facilities, a plastic surgery practice, a spa, and several retail services.  The remaining five levels house for private physician offices.  The medical office building also includes a 100-seat auditorium, a conference area and a medical library.
