The Manuel Mora Valverde Public Hospital in Puntarenas Province's Golfito Canton has begun a campaign to provide massive medical services.


The hospital health professionals will offer a wide range of medical procedures, including orthopedics, colonoscopies, gastroscopies, ultrasounds, and mammograms, among many others, according to Social Security.


The medical services kicked off this week and will run from Monday through Friday, through December. The hospital staff aims to care for the approximately 5,000 patients assigned to this particular facility.






Based on the information patients give during registration, health professionals will get in touch with them to schedule medical consultations.


Residents of Golfito, including foreigners with DIMEX cards, may find out more about the medical campaign by going to the hospital's information desk. Also available from the hospital are information lines 2775-7959 or 2775-7827.


This is one of many mass medical services campaigns launched by public institutions this year. Last week, another massive medical campaign began at the Anexion Public Hospital located in Nicoya Canton in Guanacaste Province.


To provide non-emergency medical care and shorten wait times for appointments, Social Security has developed many widespread initiatives. These efforts seek to finish all non-emergency medical services that were put off between 2020 and 2022 when the epidemic was at its worst, authorities said.
