About Costa Rica

Costa Rica’s health system

Costa Rica’s national health system is comprised of:

  • The Ministry of Health, which leads the sector.
  • The Costa Rican Social Security System (CCSS), which provides care in case of disease and maternity.
  • The National Insurance Institute (INS), which offers protection against work-related and transportation related injuries.
  • The Costa Rican Institute of Water and Sewage Systems (AyA), which regulates the water supply for human consumption and the management of sewage.

The State Treasury assigns a budget to public institutions, and the CCSS is financed by contributions from employers, workers, and the State.
