Costa Rica: choosing a clinic — common questions

Are stem-cell clinics in Costa Rica regulated?

Regulation varies by clinic. Always verify GMP certification, a certified cell bank, ethics-board approval and whether the therapy is approved or investigational for your condition. EU clinics fall under the ATMP framework.

How do I choose a stem-cell clinic in Costa Rica?

Check four things: approved vs investigational for your condition; GMP-certified lab + cell bank; a fixed written quote; and the all-in cost including travel. Walk away if a clinic promises a cure.

Is there a cheaper EU-regulated alternative?

Yes — Bulgaria offers the same EU GMP standard at €3,000–8,000, typically 60–80% below US, UK, German or Swiss pricing. See our Indice dei costi 2026.
