As a foreigner living in San Salvador, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in San Salvador if they have access to public healthcare in San Salvador. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in San Salvador, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in El Salvador is known to be underfunded and overcrowded, which may result in long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. The quality of care in public hospitals may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Many expats and foreigners choose to use private healthcare facilities, which offer better quality care and shorter waiting times, but at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover the costs of private healthcare," explained one expat living in San Salvador, El Salvador.
