For an emergency, dial 911
Costa Rica uses 911 for police, ambulance, and fire emergencies. This page is not medical advice and is not a substitute for emergency services.

Use live directions only after confirming the facility you need. Do not rely on a fixed travel-time estimate during an emergency.
For non-emergency care, confirm the provider's current location, hours, services, price, and insurance arrangements directly. PlayaPotrero.cr withholds unverified clinic and pharmacy details instead of presenting stale information as current.
