Santa Tecla, El Salvador -
The new San Rafael Hospital in Santa Tecla,
El Salvador, suffered severe structural damage
during the earthquakes of 2001, and was unable to
continue functioning. It is currently being rebuilt using
anti-seismic norms and standards, in the hope that
this will save the building from suffering a similar fate
in the future.
