Atenas to host pediatric health and wellness festival

The Área de Salud de Atenas is organizing a pediatric health and wellness festival scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026. The event will take place at the local UNED (Universidad Estatal a Distancia) campus in Atenas, Alajuela, starting at 8:00 AM.

The initiative aims to connect local families with public healthcare services, focusing on early childhood development and preventative care. Legal experts note that such community health fairs serve as a practical application of the constitutional right to health and protection for minors in Costa Rica, provided they adhere to strict sanitary regulations and liability standards.
