Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social prorroga por seis meses la emergencia institucional por renuncia de médicos especialistas

The Board of Directors of the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS) in Costa Rica has agreed to extend the institutional emergency declaration by six months. This measure was originally enacted in response to the resignation of specialized medical personnel who were operating under a specific shift scheme.

The six-month extension maintains the institutional emergency status to address ongoing operational challenges stemming from the departure of these medical specialists. The decision underscores the continued impact of staffing shortages on the country's social security system.
