National Dialogue for the Strengthening of Costa Rican Public Health Insurance
The National Dialogue for the Strengthening of Costa Rican Public Health Insurance was promoted by the Ministry of Health with the main goal of hearing users' voices. To receive their input, two channels were enabled: a virtual one, where people participated through an 800-phone line, a website, Facebook, and a space for the participation of experts through Thematic Dialogue Tables, that organized virtual and face-to-face deliberation spaces around strategic issues and which worked with the methodology of Practice Communities. During the implementation of these activities, community leaders, social actors and representatives of invited institutions such as the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the International Labor Organization (ILO) and others were present. These Community Dialogues were held throughout the country, accounting for more than 937 participants. The digital interfaces registered 13830 online interactions.
