Prosthetic care

[MALIK MIAH]

Does anyone know if prosthetic specialists and care exists in San Jose or other towns? My concern is emergency care to repair my right BK leg prosthetic if necessary.

Hi Malik,

As a resident you would be eligible for care through the Caja, Costa Rica’s universal healthcare system. After paying a low monthly fee based on income, your care is free. Prosthetic care should be available. There are also private providers. One I’ve heard of practices just outside San Jose – his name is Dino Cozzarelli. He’s an expat himself. In general any repair work will have to be done in San Jose – it’s the center of medical specialties in Costa Rica.
