    Abstract:
    This Decree sets forth the Health Code of El Salvador. Among other things, it describes health activities with respect to maternal-child health. It provides that it is the "ineluctable obligation of the State to promote, protect, and restore the health of the mother and child by all means at its disposal." To this end, health organizations are "to give preventative and curative attention to the mother during pregnancy and delivery and after birth and the same to children from conception to the end of schooling." The State is also to promote the creation, maintenance, and development of organizations whose goal is the protection of the mother and child. The Decree lists, among health infractions, the failure to have a blood test for syphilis performed on every pregnant woman. The Decree also provides that the Ministry of Health, in conformity with its resources and regulations, is to give assistance to the elderly and to indigent disabled persons.
