About
Hospital Dr. Enrique Baltodano Briceño is a prominent public healthcare facility located in Liberia, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. As a state medical center belonging to the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS), Costa Rica's public health system, it serves as a crucial regional hospital for a significant portion of the Guanacaste province. Specifically, it caters to the cantons of Liberia, Bagaces, Carrillo, and La Cruz, and also extends its services to the population of Upala due to accessibility and opportunity. The hospital offers a comprehensive range of specialized medical services, including round-the-clock emergency care, specialized medical consultations, disease diagnosis, hospitalization, and surgical procedures. It is equipped with essential support services such as a pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology. The hospital plays a vital role in decentralizing CCSS units, having been declared a "deconcentrated hospital" of the CCSS around the year 2000, with a management commitment signed with authorities. Historically, the hospital, officially founded in 1878, has grown significantly from attending approximately 200 people in its early days to serving a population of over 700,000, with an ascribed population of over 435,000 across 11 cantons in the Chorotega region. Its address is Barrio Moracia, contiguous to the Red Cross in Liberia.

Pediatric Treatment
Pediatric treatment abroad provides specialized medical and surgical care for infants, children, and adolescents including pediatric cardiac surgery, oncology, neurology, orthopedics, and neonatology at internationally accredited children's hospitals. Child-friendly environments and family-centered care models support both patients and their caregivers throughout treatment. Specialized pediatric care is often unavailable or unaffordable in many countries. Complex pediatric surgeries that cost $50,000 to $150,000 at home may be available for $8,000 to $30,000 abroad at equally accredited children's hospitals with fellowship-trained pediatric subspecialists. Leading international pediatric centers offer multidisciplinary pediatric teams, family accommodation support, and international patient coordinators experienced in managing the logistical and emotional needs of overseas families. Parents consistently report receiving more accessible specialist care and more thorough communication than they experienced at home. The pediatric subspecialist's training and the hospital's NICU and pediatric ICU capabilities are the most critical factors. Confirm your child's treating physician is fellowship-trained in the specific pediatric specialty. Family involvement in care, nutritional support, and psychological preparation for procedures significantly impacts pediatric recovery outcomes.
Gynecology Treatment
Gynecology treatment abroad covers hysterectomy, fibroid surgery, endometriosis excision, PCOS management, pelvic floor repair, cervical cancer treatment, and minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. Options range from diagnostic laparoscopy to complex robotic-assisted surgery for gynecologic malignancies. Gynecologic surgical costs and waiting times are major concerns in many countries. A laparoscopic hysterectomy that costs $20,000 to $35,000 at home may be available for $4,000 to $9,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with board-certified gynecologic surgeons experienced in minimally invasive techniques. Leading international gynecology centers offer shorter waiting times, robotic surgical capabilities, and dedicated women's health coordinators. Patients consistently report receiving more personalized care and more thorough pre-surgical counseling than they experienced at home. The gynecologist's subspecialty training and the hospital's surgical technology are the most important factors. Confirm your surgeon is certified in minimally invasive or robotic gynecologic surgery. Recovery outcomes are significantly influenced by adherence to postoperative activity restrictions, follow-up pelvic ultrasound, and hormonal management where applicable.
General Surgery
General surgery abroad covers hernia repair, cholecystectomy, appendectomy, thyroidectomy, colorectal surgery, and abdominal procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques. These procedures address common surgical conditions with high precision, minimal scarring, and rapid recovery. General surgical costs vary greatly between countries. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy that costs $15,000 to $25,000 at home may be available for $2,000 to $5,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with board-certified general surgeons performing high-volume, low-complication procedures. Leading international surgical centers offer shorter waiting times, advanced laparoscopic and robotic capabilities, and streamlined pre-operative and post-operative care. Patients consistently report receiving more attentive surgical planning and recovery support than they experienced at home. The surgeon's laparoscopic experience and the hospital's accreditation are the most important factors. Confirm the surgeon's annual procedure volume and complication rates. Following postoperative wound care instructions, activity restrictions, and dietary guidelines directly influences recovery speed and long-term outcomes.
ENT
ENT treatment abroad covers cochlear implants, endoscopic sinus surgery, hearing restoration, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, vocal cord surgery, and skull base procedures performed by sub-specialized otolaryngologists. Options range from outpatient procedures to complex surgeries addressing hearing loss, chronic sinusitis, and head and neck conditions. ENT surgical costs in many countries are high and waiting times are long. A cochlear implant procedure that costs $50,000 to $80,000 at home may be available for $12,000 to $25,000 abroad at equally accredited hospitals with experienced ENT surgeons and comprehensive audiology support. Leading international ENT centers offer shorter waiting times, advanced diagnostic audiometry, and dedicated international patient coordinators who facilitate seamless care for overseas patients. Patients consistently report more thorough ENT assessments and attentive post-operative follow-up than they experienced at home. The ENT surgeon's subspecialty training and the center's diagnostic technology are the most important factors. Confirm your surgeon is fellowship-trained in the relevant ENT subspecialty. For cochlear implants, post-implant auditory rehabilitation and consistent mapping appointments are essential for optimal hearing outcomes.
