II. POPULATION AND AFFECTED AREAS | 63 B.2.4 Health Sector a) Background The natural event of November 2009 struck El Salvador which already ranked has having the secondhighest percentage of total population at high risk of death due to multiple disasters. 29 With regard to health status, the country is undergoing an epidemiological transition, with an increase in deaths from non-transmissible diseases and a reduction in the relative number of infectious diseases. Most of the demand for health services continues to be for illnesses of mothers and children, especially respiratory illnesses and diarrhea, which are closely related to the provision of drinking water, hygiene conditions and lifestyles. It is estimated that over 50% of demand for ambulatory care may be met at firstlevel facilities such as health units. El Salvador’s public health system is of a mixed and organized nature in the public subsector, composed of the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social -MSPAS), the Salvadoran Institute of Social Security (Instituto Salvadoreño del Seguro Social -ISSS), Teachers’ Well-being (Bienestar Magisterial -BM), Military Health (Sanidad Militar -SM) and the Salvadoran Institute for Comprehensive Rehabilitation (Instituto Salvadoreño de Rehabilitación Integral -ISRI) assigned to MSPAS; and the private subsector. It is estimated that 41% of the population lacks access to health services and over 50% has insufficient access due to economic and geographic barriers or to deficient infrastructure (PAHO 2004). Despite the limitations of the country’s health sector, associated with structural and financial aspects, the national government, through the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance, the Salvadoran Institute of Social Security and other organizations, responded in a timely manner to the emergency. Added to this was the collaboration of foreign governments and of national and international cooperation agencies. All were mobilized to address the most urgent health needs. As part of the emergency response, efforts were conducted to care for the wounded, and to treat cases of diarrhea and acute respiratory illnesses, dermatological and mental health problems, which were part of what was expected, considering the nature of the event and the country’s epidemiological profile. Despite the damages and environmental conditions, health services remained operating at all times, and public health care coverage was expanded through the strengthening of capacities in the disaster zone. b) Effects of the Disaster b.1) Effects on Health Services Damages have been reported in eight health facilities, 2.8% of those existing in the affected departments. Most of them are located in the peri-urban zone of the city of San Salvador, where five of them suffered 29 Natural Disaster Hotspot Study, World Bank.
