The healthcare system in Costa Rica is known for its high quality and affordability, and Playa Grande is no exception. There are local clinics and pharmacies available for basic healthcare needs. For more serious conditions, there are hospitals in nearby cities like Nicoya and Liberia, which are equipped with modern facilities and English-speaking staff. Costa Rica also has a universal healthcare system, so residents have access to free healthcare services.
