Hospital Clinica Biblica

A project by the Latin-American Mission began in 1921. Several missionaries arrived in this country coming from different nations in order to help those who needed it the most. Mr. Henry Strachan, Scottish, and Susan, Irish, joined this noble cause after having served in Argentina during 17 years as evangelic missionaries.

The original idea was to create a pediatric center to attend so many ill, malnourished and abandoned children. However, as time went by, they saw need to count with a maternity ward and a surgical clinic. This is how the Strachans decided to assume this as their personal challenge and achieved the construction of a maternity ward, a surgical section and an infirmary school.

By 1968 important advances were already made in the national health area. Infant mortality rate had decreased considerably, nurses with great professional excellency were being prepared, there were special high quality programs for maternity attention and post surgical treatment, and the country already counted with several good hospitals associated to the Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social (Costa Rican Social Security System).
