Nosara has a New Health Committee

By Arianna McKinney

About 38 people were in attendance at the office of the Nosara Development Association on Saturday, August 18th, when a new Health Committee was formed. The aim of the committee is to address local health problems.

For example, on Mondays many have to travel to Nicoya when the buses are full to get blood tests done. To resolve this issue, the health committee's first priority is to bring a specialist to the EBAIS to do blood tests in Nosara once a week and bring the results the following week, explained Seidy Ugalde Rivera, secretary of the new committee.

Another priority for the committee is to coordinate with the EBAIS staff regarding the limited quantity of appointments available each day, with people having to go to the EBAIS at 3 a.m. to wait in line in hopes of getting an appointment. To address this issue, Ugalde said the committee will work with the doctor and the Development Association to look into the possibility of bringing a second doctor to Nosara's EBAIS.

Members of the new committee are: President Martin Chacon, Vice President Denis Matarrita, Secretary Seidy Ugalde Rivera, Treasurer Juanita Aviles Mayorga, Fiscal Jose Reyes, Vocal 1 Edith Quiros Avila and Vocal 2 Pablo Romero.
