We are dedicated to ensuring that our innovations reach patients as quickly as possible, and as pioneers in personalized healthcare, we’re transforming how healthcare is delivered, making a real impact on people's lives.

Since 1966, we've been a vital part of Central America, with our Pharmaceutical hub established in Costa Rica since 1973. Currently managing operations in 24 countries in the Caribbean, Central America, and Venezuela (CCAV), we focus on delivering health solutions, enhancing quality of life, and creating opportunities for talent across the region. 

Costa Rica’s stability and talented workforce have significantly bolstered our presence here.

In 2024, we opened the Roche Costa Rica Campus, uniting Pharma, Diagnostics, Diabetes Care, and Services under one roof. We also expanded our logistics with a cutting-edge warehouse in Costa Rica, distributing products throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and Venezuela. 

Sustainability is a cornerstone of our strategy. We’ve been building alliances across sectors to create value and provide a positive impact, benefiting patients and society. Our commitment to sustainability drives us to develop solutions that positively impact the communities we serve.

In 2020, we introduced a new organizational model in Central America and the Caribbean, strengthening our relationships with various sectors. This evolution has positioned us as a trusted partner and strategic ally in health systems and society. Join us at Roche, where innovation meets purpose, and together, we can make a significant difference in global healthcare.
