Santiago Carrasco, president of the Ecuadorian Medical Federation, warned that the health emergency in the country is aggravated by the lack of supplies and medicines in public hospitals and because the measures adopted by the National COE were taken out of time.
Carrasco stated that real figures had to be verified, because the data handled by the Ministry of Health does not represent reality, there would even be more infections that have not yet been computed.
Given this, he explained that the increase in infections could be evidenced until the first week of March and, after this, a decrease would be perceived.
In the same way, he stressed that traffic lights by cantons are also late, since several sectors have almost the entire population infected and are still categorized in yellow.
«They put the figures they want. Zamora is a canton is in yellow, when 98% of the population is with COVID-19 “.
The president of the Ecuadorian Medical Federation also warned that the lack of supplies and medicines in public hospitals continues and there is no timely management by the authorities.
“Doctors have to buy their protective suits, there is no psychological support for the staff. There is no management issue.
