These doses were requested by means of a memorandum by the Ministry of Public Health but it is not yet quantified how many people benefited by verbal order of the authorities.
The Comptroller General of the State (CGE) confirmed that in the zero phase of the vaccination plan against Covid-19, in Ecuador, people who did not work in health services or lived in geriatric centers benefited.
The DNA6-0018 report of 2021, approved on June 4, gives an account of the use made of the first vaccines that arrived in Ecuador and the irregularities that were recorded in their application.
At the Pablo Arturo Suarez Hospital, vaccines were applied to 56 people who were not part of phase 0 or pilot plan.
At the Carlos Andrade Marín Hospital, the general manager authorized the vaccination of two people who were not part of the first-line health personnel.
The National Undersecretary of Public Health Surveillance and advisor 2 / Government manager 1 requested the vaccination of 9 adults over 80 years of age who did not live in gerontological centers.
In the same way, it was warned that, because several of the immunization provisions were given by verbal order, there is no real record of those who accessed the doses in a discretionary way or skipped the line.
The document also indicates that, of the first vaccines that arrived in the country, 450 doses were delivered to the Pablo Arturo Suárez Hospital, but only 285 were applied to doctors and health personnel of the hospital and 63 were given to health personnel of the hospital of Los Valleys
Of the 102 remaining doses, 33 were applied to people who live and serve in the Riveras del Río Suites building, including the mother of the former Minister of Health, Juan Carlos Zevallos. 33 more doses went to people who have nothing to do with the Hospital de los Valles, according to a report from the General Management of that health home, another 18 doses to people who worked in the Presidency of the Republic and 15 additional doses were applied to members of the Presidential Cabinet and their spouses.
