Many diseases of third world countries have
been successfully treated and prevented and some are almost eradicated,
such as malaria, yellow fever, leprosy, and tuberculosis.
Costa Rican facilities, the availability of
technical equipment, and the level of medical expertise have allowed
the country to offer heart and liver transplants, cosmetic surgery and
modern dental interventions. |
