For the period between 2005 and 2010, El Salvador had the third lowest birth rate in Central America, with 22.8 births per 1,000. However, during the same period, it had the highest death rate in Central America, 5.9 deaths per 1,000. In 2015 life expectancy for men was 67.8 years and 77.0 years for women. Healthy life expectancy was 57 for males and 62 for females in 2003.[1] There was considerable improvement in socioeconomic and health status from 1990 to 2015.[2]

During the 1970s there was widespread malnutrition. Sewage systems were rare in rural areas even in the 1980s. There were high rates of infant mortality, malaria and water-borne diseases.[3]

Healthcare

The public healthcare system consists of

  • Ministry of Health which provides free health services to 79.5% of the population
  • Salvadoran Institute for Social Security, which provides health insurance for 18.4% of the population
  • Teacher’s Welfare
  • Military Health
  • Higher Council for Public Health
  • Salvadoran Institute for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons

In 1984 there were ten general hospitals and twelve health centers in the country. The Medical School of the National University was closed in 1980.[4] There are now 30 public hospitals in El Salvador, plus various primary care facilities and 27 basic health care systems. Before 2009 a “voluntary” donation was demanded for access to a public hospital or clinic. Clinics staffed by Community Health Teams have been established in the rural areas. Although services are supposed to be free shortage of funds means that people may have to pay for supplies.[5] Emergency services are very basic.

The private health sector offers care in medical facilities concentrated in urban areas.
