Bret Dudl of La Joya Perfecta, a wellness development near Dominical, speaks about his views on the first PROMED congress held last week in San Jose and the bright future of medical tourism in Costa Rica. High standards of quality coupled with warm, Tico hospitality in a paradisaic tropical setting, make Costa Rica an ideal destination for a medical tourism get away. If you need anything from aesthetic dental or cosmetic procedures to major surgery and rehabilitation, Costa Rica boasts a wide variety of fully accredited hospitals, clinics and recovery facilities at very competitive prices. There were over a hundred exhibits at the congress and nearly five hundred participants.
