translate English to French: Although it cannot yet be asserted that the country has a health programme in place for the indigenous communities, it is important to point out that the authorities concerned are acutely aware of the specific needs of that population; a clear indication of such awareness is the agreement signed in March 1999 by the authorities of the Costa Rican Social Security Fund and the Buenos Aires regional indigenous organization ARADIKES.
Bien que l'on ne puisse pas encore affirmer que le pays administre un programme complet de santé en faveur des communautés autochtones, il faut néanmoins que les autorités responsables soient  parfaitement conscientes des besoins propres à ces populations; on peut citer à cet égard l'accord signé en mars 1999 entre les responsables de la Caisse costaricienne d'assurance sociale et l'Organisation régionale autochtone de Buenos Aires ARADIKES.
