Health Council of Ibarra Canton
The Health Council of Ibarra Canton was created in order to constitute a health system based on the social participation of citizens. The organization seeks to improve access to health, as well as the treatment of diseases and medical care of the municipality. It is an initiative established in 2005, particularly in the Ibarra Canton, whose purpose was to expand participation in the health field. The objectives achieved during this process correspond to the creation of an inter-institutional coordination and citizen participation body called the Cantonal Council of Health, created under the framework of the Charter Law of the National Health System of Ecuador. Together with the creation of the Council, the proposal for the creation and implementation of a cantonal health system was developed.
