What are healthcare services like in Playa Samara?

"Playa Samara, offers a range of healthcare services for both residents and visitors. The town has a local EBAIS clinic, which is part of the public healthcare system in Costa Rica, providing basic healthcare services. For more serious or specialized medical needs, patients may need to travel to Nicoya, the nearest city with a larger hospital. There are also private doctors and a pharmacy in Playa Samara. Dental services are available as well. Many healthcare providers in the area speak both Spanish and English, making it easier for English-speaking visitors to communicate their health concerns. It's also worth noting that Costa Rica has a high standard of healthcare, often comparable to what's found in more developed countries. However, it's recommended for visitors to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, as private healthcare can be expensive," remarked another expat who made the move to Playa Samara, Costa Rica.
