Lung health
El Salvador had an estimated population of 6.31 million in 2023. Approximately 5,300 individuals developed TB, and 150 people died from the disease. An estimated 1,035 individuals remained undiagnosed or unreported. The country also reported 320 TB cases with HIV co-infection and 88 cases of drug-resistant TB. TB/HIV diagnoses increased by 24% compared to 2022, while the number of missing individuals with TB who are HIV positive remained unchanged.
In 2025, we delivered a CAD4TB to the Ministerio de la Salud, Programa Nacional de Tuberculosis, to support national screening efforts.
