About
FOSALUD (Fondo Solidario para la Salud) is an autonomous public institution in El Salvador, established in 2004 to enhance healthcare services through a tax reform initiative. It is primarily funded by taxes on products deemed harmful to health, such as tobacco and alcohol, with a significant portion allocated to finance preventive health campaigns and cessation services. The organization operates around 160 health units nationwide, including facilities that provide 24-hour care and year-round medical services. FOSALUD focuses on improving access to healthcare, particularly in underserved areas, by facilitating medical and dental assistance. It has also played a vital role in increasing the availability of specialized medical personnel, such as pediatricians and gynecologists, during weekends and holidays. Additionally, FOSALUD supports public health campaigns aimed at reducing tobacco and alcohol consumption and has procured medical equipment to enhance healthcare delivery in remote locations. The institution has created employment for over 3,000 healthcare professionals, contributing to both health outcomes and economic development in El Salvador.
