- Healthcare notes
- Public system (ISSS / MINSAL) is free at point of use but strained, with long waits and uneven provision outside San Salvador. Private hospitals in the capital are adequate for routine and mid-complexity care and inexpensive by regional standards; complex or specialist treatment is generally referred abroad, usually to Guatemala City, Mexico or the United States. Expatriates almost always carry private cover with international evacuation.
