The Ministerio de Salud de Costa Rica has used its official Twitter account to promote public health and environmental awareness through a series of posts in early April 2026. The tweets focus on kidney health, responsible waste management, and community composting initiatives.
On April 1, 2026, the ministry emphasized the importance of kidney care by stating: “Cuidar los riñones es clave para mantener el cuerpo en equilibrio. Tomar agua, evitar el exceso de sal y hacerse chequeos regulares ayuda a prevenir problemas y proteger la salud a largo plazo. Pequeños hábitos hacen una gran diferencia.”
A day later, on April 2, 2026, the ministry addressed waste management practices with the following message: “Aplicar las 3R —reducir, reutilizar y reciclar— ayuda a manejar mejor los residuos.
Esta práctica disminuye la cantidad de basura, ahorra recursos y protege el ambiente.
Además, promueve hábitos responsables y contribuye a espacios más limpios y ordenados.” The concept of “reduce, reuse, recycle,” commonly known as the three Rs, is widely recognized for minimizing environmental impact and encouraging resource conservation.
On April 3, 2026, the ministry highlighted community involvement in sustainable practices by posting: ҉ۢEl compostaje en comunidades organizadas fortalece el trabajo colectivo y el cuidado del entorno.
Al manejar en conjunto los residuos orgánicos, se reduce la basura, se mejora el suelo y se promueven hábitos responsables” Community-based composting efforts are increasingly promoted worldwide for their role in reducing landfill waste and improving soil quality.
The Ministerio de Salud de Costa Rica regularly uses its social media platforms to inform citizens about preventive health measures and environmental stewardship.
