The Costa Rican approach

Costa Rica is one of the healthiest countries in South America, and one of the reasons for this is its decision to not have an army. Instead of spending money on the military, the Costa Rican government uses that money to improve health, education, and other basic needs for its people. The government believes that for a country to develop, its people must be healthy. It provides important services like clean drinking water, proper sanitation, good nutrition, and housing to everyone. Additionally, health education is seen as very important, and teaching about health is included in school lessons at all levels.
