CAJA is absolute garbage. A friend of my took his daughter there who had shivers and he waited for 13 hours, then one doctor saw him for 5mins and told her to drink “rice water” whatever that is and then come back the next day.

Needless to say he then took his daughter to CIMA, one of the best health care experiences you will ever have. Cost him $300 and he had some of the best health care available on planet Earth. Never use the public system if in Costa Rica.
