Across Costa Rica, especially in the Limon province, healthcare is not equally accessible.
For example, 70–90% of Indigenous people live under the poverty line, compared to only 20% in the rest of the country.
Barriers include:
These challenges often leave vulnerable populations without consistent or affordable care, creating deep inequities in health access and outcomes.
In Talamanca, one of Costa Rica’s most diverse yet underserved regions, many residents — including Indigenous, Afro-Caribbean, and migrant populations — face disproportionate health challenges.
Factors such as poverty, limited transportation, and systemic inequities reduce access to preventive and urgent care, leading to avoidable suffering and worsening outcomes.
Maternal death and chronic disease rates here are far higher than in the rest of Costa Rica.
