El Salvador drew international notice due to its engagement in Bitcoin. The Salvadoran government, unlike other administrations, did not wait. President Nayib Bukele advocated for Bitcoin legalization in the region. Given a similar signal from above, the nation enacted a series of Bitcoin-friendly regulations. In a similar vein, El Salvador opened its first-ever animal hospital, which was funded entirely by Bitcoin.
The hospital is located in the municipality of Antiguo Cuscatlán, near to the capital of San Salvador. In October, Bukele suggested the idea of constructing an animal hospital. The government announced that the hospital will be built using a $4 million surplus from a trust fund designed to facilitate the government’s acceptance of bitcoin as legal tender.
The hospital’s construction began in November 2021. El Salvador’s hospital is said to have basic clinics, emergency wards, operating rooms, isolation, recovery, and rehabilitation areas.
According to reports, the Chivo Pets hospital would levy a symbolic fee of $0.25 for all procedures. This method was put in place to help folks who could not afford to hire a private veterinarian.
Furthermore, the whole opening of the hospital was aired live by El Salvador’s President. The inauguration was broadcast live on a number of platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok, and cable television.
The introduction of Bitcoin in El Salvador has clearly paid dividends. Prior to the adoption of Bitcoin, the country’s economic situation were unsatisfactory. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is now contributing in the growth of the country’s economy. The country’s tourism industry has grown by 30%
