The Anexion Hospital, located in Nicoya Canton in Guanacaste Province, will hold a massive medical services campaign.

According to Social Security, the campaign is held this week, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. where health workers aim to serve at least 1,200 patients already assigned to this hospital. 

The staff of the Optometry, Ophthalmology and Ultrasound Departments will provide a full range of medical services such as routine eye exams, glasses, general eye care and ultrasounds among many others.

Clinic workers will contact patients, based on their registration information, to set up medical appointments. However, residents of Santa Cruz, Nicoya, Hojancha, Nandayure and Jicaral with pending eye care treatments can obtain more information about the medical campaign by visiting the hospital information office or by calling the lines 2685-8400, 2685-8404, 2685-8468 or 2685-8417.

This is one of many mass medical services campaigns launched by public institutions this year. Last week, the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Costa Rica announced a campaign for free prenatal care services for women.  Health services are provided to all women of any nationality or status as residents, nationals, immigrants or tourists.

Recently, Social Security in Jaco Beach in Puntarenas held a massive dental medical care campaign. The health workers attended more than 3,000 patients.

This is a handful of non-emergency medical service campaigns that Social Security has launched to reduce waiting times for medical appointments. The campaigns attempt to catch up on all non-emergency services put on hold during the height of the pandemic from 2020-2022.
