The construction of the new Rosales National Hospital has reached 90% completion, President Nayib Bukele announced on social media, emphasizing that it will be one of the most modern hospitals in the region. The project aligns with the government’s vision of improving healthcare services through state-of-the-art technology, high-quality medical staff, and exceptional work standards.
“The most challenging part is not building the structure, but ensuring the best care, cutting-edge equipment, top doctors, quality supplies, efficient protocols, strict controls, and a strong work ethic. Everything needed to make it the best hospital in Central America. It’s not an easy goal, but with God’s help, we will achieve it,” Bukele stated on X.
A Landmark in El Salvador’s Healthcare Transformation
The new Rosales Hospital is a flagship project of Bukele’s administration, aimed at modernizing the country’s healthcare system and addressing the longstanding neglect of medical infrastructure by previous governments. The Dirección de Obras Municipales (DOM) is leading the construction, with three shifts of workers ensuring rapid progress.
The hospital will feature two underground levels, four floors, and a rooftop, including specialized units in nephrology, cardiology, hematology, and oncology. Additionally, it will house 87 consultation rooms, 44 procedure rooms, and multiple specialized care units designed to enhance patient capacity and medical efficiency.
Sustainability and Cutting-Edge Certification
The facility is designed to meet EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification standards, ensuring energy and water resource optimization. The integration of solar panels is part of the hospital’s sustainable infrastructure strategy.
With a total investment of $61.2 million, the new Rosales Hospital represents a major step forward in El Salvador’s commitment to improving national healthcare facilities and services. The government has pledged to continue modernizing hospitals and primary care units across the country, addressing decades of infrastructure neglect and ensuring better medical care for all Salvadorans.
