“…The occupancy rate of COVID-19 ICU beds increased from 94% by April to 121% by May and to 145% by June when there were more than 500 patients in ICU beds out of the 359 ICU beds available 33–36. This overoccupancy impelled health workers to decrease the quality of attention and forced hospitals to allocate ICU beds from other healthcare services to COVID-19 patients, to prioritise certain critical patients, and to assign some critical patients to severe or moderate beds 37 38…”

Studies on COVID-19 usually focus on health system responses to decrease the rate of COVID-19 infection and death, but patients with other diseases also require access to health services during the pandemic. This paper describes the structures and processes by which the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) changed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which helped to sustain essential health services (EHSs). We conducted a desk review of the local literature and semistructured qualitative interviews with key informants from the CCSS. We found that the CCSS implemented changes in structure, such as creating a specialised COVID-19 centre and hiring additional interim health workers. The CCSS also implemented changes in processes, including leveraging its integrated network to optimise its resources and support alternative care modalities. These changes generated changes in outputs and outcomes that helped sustain EHSs for non-COVID-19 patients. These interventions were possible primarily due to Costa Rica’s underlying health system, particularly its integrated nature with a single institution in charge of healthcare provision financed through mandatory health insurance, a unique digital medical record system and a contingency fund.
