Decentralized Healthcare in El Salvador: How Nostr is Empowering Patients to Reclaim Sovereignty

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, I’m excited to bring you a fascinating conversation with Fabian, a true freedom enthusiast who's on a mission to transform healthcare as we know it. In this episode, Fabian shares his journey from the Netherlands to Australia, and eventually to El Salvador, in search of more freedom and self-sovereignty.

We dive deep into his innovative project, The Salud Protocol, which aims to give people control over their own health data using a decentralized system built on Nostr. Imagine being able to securely own and manage your health records, deciding who gets access to your information, and even earning compensation for sharing it. Fabian is already piloting this with Paravida Hospital right here in El Salvador, working to digitize health records and put power back in the hands of patients.

We also chat about how El Salvador is quickly becoming the epicenter for a new wave of financial and technological innovation, driven by Bitcoin and decentralized solutions. Tune in for an eye-opening look at the future of healthcare, digital identity, and the push for personal freedom.
