Open-access Covid-19 in Ecuador: political fragility and vulnerability of public health

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    The case of covid-19 in Guayaquil shows that the medical and scientific spheres are not divorced from contemporary political, social and economic factors, but that they act upon one another. In particular, the political crises and socioeconomic inequalities that affected Ecuador before the arrival of the pandemic paved the way for the havoc caused by the new coronavirus in the country.
