Abstract

This case study of the transformation of the Hospital de las Mujeres Dr. Adolfo Carit Eva in San José, Costa Rica documents an exciting success story in the implementation of a human rights and people-centred approach to health care. It demonstrates how a consistent, carefully planned and strategic application of the BIAS FREE Framework by a dedicated and skilled leadership team was the key to this success.
