Special supply of Portable Dental Units for El Salvador - FOSALUD

Supply of Portable Dental Units

The company opened a new strategic business front in Central America with the supply of a

batch of 12 equipment for the government of El Salvador. There are 12 units of the Portable Dental

Unit in partnership with the distributor Hospitalar S.A.

The purpose of this purchase is to expand the structure for medical and dental assistance to

the Salvadoran population, including attending difficult to reach places, one of the Portable

Dental Unit’s main usage characteristics, created to operate in extreme conditions.

Olsen's Commercial Director, Cleber Adir, emphasizes that the service to El Salvador has the

positive aspect of the government's concern to expand health care to the population, mainly

through the action of Fosalud, in addition to providing a new opening for Olsen equipment in

the region, as well as leaving channels opened with the Salvadoran government for new

business.

FOSALUD

The Solidarity Fund for Health (Fosalud) was born as part of a tax reform developed in El

Salvador in 2004. The basic idea was to create a fund fed by taxes on products considered

harmful to health to improve and expand health care provided to the population in the health

units.

Currently, Fosalud assures the operation of 160 health units, 64 with 24-hour care and 96 with

medical care for the whole year, including weekends and holidays.

Since its foundation, the fund has been carrying out several actions in support of the Ministry

of Health, among which the presence of pediatricians and gynecologists in health and dental

care units at weekends and holidays; among other initiatives.

In addition to contributing to the improvement of the health of Salvadorans, Fosalud has

generated more than 3,000 jobs for doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, among others.
