Actual statistics from "The World Health Report 2000 - Health systems: Improving performance."
The U. S. health system spends a higher portion of its gross domestic product than any other country but ranks #37 out of 191 countries according to its performance. However, the US ranks #1 in health expenditure per capita,  while El Salvador ranks 115th in the overall health system performance and 83rd in the health expenditure per capita.  The reason for this ranking is that El Salvador has something that resembles two distinct health care systems. The first is a completely private based system that uses qualified doctors, state of the art technology and the doctors spend ample time with their patients, which unfortunately, only the wealthy can afford. The other is a government run system that is more designed for the poor, where the doctors are overworked and don't have as much time to spend with each patient. This was largely due to a decrease of government expenditures on health programs during the war.  

With the stability of government and less political unrest, El Salvador is becoming a popular gem for medical tourists. Many doctors have trained and studied in the United States, access to the latest state of the art technologies and the beauty of its people  are making it a popular destination for dental and medical procedures.

El Salvador is  a major coffee center, and coffee influences the way of life, the scent in the air and the attitude of the people. Its capital San Salvador, is an attractive town with many old buildings  of pronounced  great architecture.
Transportation in this relatively small country is easy, and getting to famous sights will be a breeze. Lake Coatepeque and Chalchuapa are some for the famous ones while San Salvador's Pacific coast rival the best ones in the world. The natural beauty-volcanoes, coffee plantations, and isolated beaches make for a good environment to take a rest and appreciate nature too.
When you visit El Salvador, you will notice that affordable prices reflect the lower cost of living. Cosmetic surgery is common and medical tourism is safe, accepted and one of the best, there is a countrywide modernization, all of which are aimed to improve the tourism industry.
