By controlling infectious and diarrhoeal diseases through universal immunisation, and by other public health measures, its citizens can expect to live as long as those in some Western countries. Geoff Watts examines how Costa Rica has achieved its dramatic health improvements in less than 20 years, and discovers the role played in the success by a silent army of health workers.
