The University of Costa Rica's Faculty of Nursing in the San Pedro District, San José Province, is offering free prenatal care to women.

Preventive healthcare, also known as antenatal care, is provided by specialists and includes medical checkups, prenatal nutrition, fetal well-being tests (which allow for the evaluation of the fetal heart rate pattern and the detection of potential changes), prenatal and postnatal control, complication management, risk identification during pregnancy, and information about breastfeeding.

Follow-up consultations include educational sessions on themes such as childbirth preparation and pregnant mothers' rights.

The campaign is part of the learning process for advanced nursing students, who are supervised by professors with substantial practical experience.

All women, regardless of nationality or status, including residents, citizens, immigrants, and tourists are eligible for health care. Those interested in getting medical attention should fill out the form accessible on the university website or phone 7053-9983.
