Treatment Options Abroad - El Salvador

EL SALVADOR lies on the western side of Central America, with long, gorgeous coastlines looking out into the Pacific Ocean. It’s largest city and capital is San Salvador, the country’s cultural, political, and financial center. It’s one of the largest urban centers in Central America, with a population exceeding 1.7 million people. While El Salvador was once a potentially risky place to tour, today the government has all but eliminated any danger to foreign tourists, and the local people are as outgoing and welcoming to tourists as any people in the world.

El Salvador’s world-class surfing on empty, dark-sand beaches, colorful Spanish colonial towns, Maya and Olmec archeological sites, and sublime national parks are in themselves a great reason to explore this hidden gem of a country. Even more impressive, though, is El Salvador’s highly-developed health care system, with some of the world’s foremost doctors.
