Social Security invests in Central Pacific medical centers

June 1, 2016 by Staff News Writer

The Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) has invested ¢607 million in the purchase of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment to improve medical care in the Central Pacific region.

Officials pointed that investment would reduce visits to hospitals in the capital by patients from the provinces who couldn’t find some medical services in their regions.

The investment was approved last year and is part of a plan dedicated to improve first and second care levels, according to Maria del Rocio Saenz Madrigal, president of the CCSS.
