Costa Rica Travel Planning Now Includes a Healthy Option: Medical Tests

San Jose, Costa Rica (PRWEB) June 21, 2007 -- Costa Rica boasts a well-earned reputation as a favored vacation destination for many in the U.S. Recently however, an increasing number of Americans are taking advantage of their exotic vacation trip to include a healthy medical checkup, trading some of their leisure time for one of multiple comprehensive packages currently being offered.

Hospitals like the Clinica Biblica, located in San Jose, provide tourists with half-day comprehensive medical tests __title__ Medical test services provided by Clinica Biblica Hospital (http://www.hospitalbiblicamedicaltourism.com/medical-tourism-medical-tests-annual-checkup.html?source=prweb&campaign=june07). "If you don't visit your doctor regularly, you might think you are in good shape; nevertheless you are not making long-term plans for your own well-being. This is why taking a medical checkup is recommended at least every two years. If you invest in your own health now, you'll save on future medical expenses", comments Dr. Rodolfo Leal, Head of Internal Medicine.

"The importance of a medical checkup lies on its prevention qualities; it is a tool that enables you to make sure you are as healthy as you feel. And of course, what better time to have a medical checkup than when you are enjoying a vacation in Costa Rica" adds Dr. Leal. It is also a practical way to identify health risk factors that can be modified, such as an inappropriate lifestyle, smoking and lack of exercise; or those that cannot be modified, such as genetic characteristics, which may cause cardiovascular problems, diabetes, hypertension, among other conditions.

Medical checkup packages currently offered by the Clinica Biblica Hospital include parking (or shuttle bus for those staying at a hotel), breakfast and a nurse who provides support to the patient throughout the whole process. An optional one-hour relaxation session is also offered, which includes hydrotherapy and massage. Package prices range from $220 to $680, and are tailor-made to satisfy the needs of different age groups (click for medical check up details):
