El Salvador
Health Health No 1 2 No 3 N/A 4 N/A Healthcare Medical facilities are limited outside San Salvador. Doctors and hospitals expect immediate cash payment. Travellers are advised to carry a copy of their insurance document as hospitals may not provide treatment otherwise. State-run hospitals are basic and visitors are advised to use private clinics where possible. Note 1
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travellers over six months of age coming from infected areas.

Following WHO guidelines issued in 1973, a cholera vaccination certificate is no longer a condition of entry into El Salvador. However, cases of cholera were reported in 1996 and precautions are essential. Up-to-date advice should be sought before deciding whether these precautions should include vaccination, as medical opinion is divided over its effectiveness.

3
Typhoid is common and vaccination against typhoid and polio is advised.

4
Very low malaria risk, predominantly in the benign vivax form, exists all year in Santa Ana Province and in rural areas of migratory influence.
