A medical services campaign will take place at the San Rafael District public clinic located in Puntarenas Province.

According to Social Security, clinic staff will provide a wide variety of medical services such as dentistry, skin exams, Pap smear exams, vision exams, AIDS screening exams, gynecology, colposcopy, geriatrics, ultrasounds, densitometry, physiotherapy, optometry, among others.

The campaign began today and is scheduled to continue for the rest of the week. The staff's goal is to provide care to a minimum of 1,200 patients assigned to this specific clinic.

 

Health workers will contact patients based on the information they provided during registration to arrange medical consultations.

Puntarenas residents, including foreign residents with DIMEX cards, can obtain additional information about the medical campaign by visiting the hospital information office.

This is one of many mass medical services campaigns launched by public institutions this year. Last week, the Public Hospitals and clinics in the cantons of San Carlos and Los Chiles in Alajuela Province launched a campaign to detect breast and cervical cancer.

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.
