What are healthcare services like in El Salvador?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in El Salvador. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in El Salvador are generally limited and of low quality. The country has a shortage of medical personnel and a lack of access to modern medical technology. The public health system is underfunded and often unable to provide adequate care. Private healthcare is available, but it is expensive and out of reach for many people. The government has implemented a number of initiatives to improve access to healthcare, but progress has been slow," commented one expat who made the move to El Salvador.
