It is considered that disease plays a decisive roll in the economy of the family, that's why the State must intervine to aliviate health issues. In Costa Rica the life expectancy at birth is 77.02 years.

In addition to ecotourism, which attracts more than a million visitors a year, the low-cost and high quality of medical care has attracted thousands of foreigners. Plastic surgery and dental services are the main reasons many come to Costa Rica. Many clinics have deals with hotels where patients are treated and then recuperate in the many natural settings of the country.
