El Salvador · UHC Service Coverage Index (SDG 3.8.1)
792023
Unit: index points (0–100). Publisher measure: UHC Service Coverage Index (SDG 3.8.1).
Unitless 0–100 UHC service coverage index (SDG 3.8.1), combining 14 tracer indicators across reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health; infectious diseases; noncommunicable diseases; and service capacity and access. WHO describes weighted geometric aggregation within subindices, then geometric aggregation across the four subindices. It is not a percentage of people insured or fully covered and does not measure financial protection (SDG 3.8.2).
Measurement basis: Composite service coverage index from WHO and other international-agency tracer data, including administrative records, household surveys and facility surveys; some tracers are proxies.
Reference-period cadence: annual.
Source update cadence: every 2–3 years. This does not establish a publication date for an individual reading.
- A unitless 0–100 index of essential health-service coverage using 14 tracers. It is not the percentage of people insured or fully covered; financial protection is a separate SDG indicator.
- Reference-year records are annual, while WHO describes dissemination every 2–3 years and input collection every 1–5 years. Tracer inputs need not share the same observation window or represent a fresh survey each year.
- Some tracers are proxies, and the index is not a recommended basket of services. Current WHO definitions reflect the March 2025 revision; cross-edition comparability and observation publication vintage are not established by this capture.
Displayed values are rounded, with extra precision when needed to keep a positive estimate positive. Downloads retain the full numeric estimate and the publisher's original display text separately.
A “<” sign means strictly below the stated number. Numeric readings and uncertainty endpoints keep their own comparison signs. A number without a sign does not establish certainty or an observed outcome.

One row per country, indicator and year, with raw values, source links and reuse notices. Thresholds have an empty numeric value and separate number/operator fields; value_kind distinguishes upper bounds from absent readings.
History and uncertainty
Charts plot numeric readings. Reported upper bounds create gaps; their values, uncertainty endpoints and source notes remain available in the table and downloads.

Each comparison sign applies to its own reading or uncertainty endpoint. Values retain source precision. “Not reported” identifies an absent reading or uncertainty endpoint in this source capture.
