CMA San JoseCOSTA RICA HEALTH AND FITNESS
You are unlikely to encounter any serious diseases in Costa Rica. Sanitary standards are high and the health system is excellent. During the past two wet seasons there have been several outbreaks of the mosquito-borne disease dengue but so far there have been no reported cases of the more serious hemorrhaging dengue.

No vaccinations are required to enter Costa Rica as epidemic diseases have been all but eradicated throughout the country. However, if you are a blood donator in the U.S., you may have a problem donating if you have traveled in some areas of Costa Rica as a World Wide health precaution. And there is NO Swine Flu scare in Costa Rica

Several private hospitals and clients in San Jose offer emergency medical services to foreigners are reasonable prices.  In most rural and urban areas, in case of medical emergency, the local red cross has ambulances ready to transport patients to hospital.  These ambulance do not charge for their service.  The 911 telephone emergency system has been operating for a while and works fine in case of emergency. One can rent a cell phone for their vacation at reasonable rates just to be safe.
