Press Release Body: Medical Travel company Global MD, Inc. announces that it is now
sending American patients to Hospital Clinica Biblica in San Jose, Costa Rica for
medical treatment. Clinica Biblica is the first hospital in Costa Rica and the
second hospital in Latin America to be accredited by the Joint Commission
International, the international arm of the same body that inspects and accredits
U.S. hospitals. That means the Clinica Biblica has met the rigorous standards of
U.S.-based accreditation. The medical community in Costa Rica is governed by the
country\'s Ministry of Health, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the
American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Costa Rica has long been a favorite destination for American tourists. Now it is
also at the top of the list for Americans looking for value in health care.
Patients without health insurance or those who seek care that is not covered are
turning to hospitals like Hospital Clinica Biblica for affordable, reliable medical
care. Costa Rica has been a medical tourism destination since the 1970’s. Patients
travel to Costa Rica for competitive prices on weight loss surgery, orthopedic
surgery, cosmetic surgery, cardiac care, gynecology and general surgery. Costa Rica
is especially well known for the expertise of its bariatric and cosmetic surgeons.

Costa Rica’s tropical climate and well-maintained infrastructure make it an ideal
place for recovering patients. English is widely spoken and patients are delighted
to find warm doctors and higher nurse to patient ratios than in most US hospitals.

Global MD’s dedicated care coordinators are ready to serve patients traveling to
Costa Rica for medical care. Care Coordinators help patients coordinate with health
care providers in Costa Rica and help make all of the non-medical arrangements for
your journey to better health.
