The El Salvador Strengthening Public Health Care System Project’s success resulted largely from the Salvadoran government’s unwavering commitment to and ownership of the Project and its goals. The Project achieved its objectives and beyond and supported shaping the future provision of health care services in the country. The improvement of the quality of health services was ensured through major updates in medical and non-medical equipment, rehabilitation of hospitals, training of health-care workers, prompt response to emergences and expanding the health ministry’s capacity to analyze health data. The Project ensured for first time in the public services a full cycle of treatment for cancer patients by creating the National Radiotherapy Center for Cancer; improved response to infectious diseases with the strengthening of the National Reference Laboratory; and ensured protection of the investment on equipment with the creation of the National Medical Equipment Maintenance center and affiliated regional units
