More than 33 specialized comprehensive clinics have been created for the benefit of patients.
Project ECHO, a model of tele-education and tele-medical tutoring that seeks to break the monopoly on knowledge and amplify the capacity to provide best practices in care for vulnerable people worldwide. By transferring knowledge, rather than patients.
Through online sessions, primary care professionals and medical specialists connect to discuss complex real-life patient cases. The primary care professionals' questions are answered by the specialists or other participants who have experienced similar situations. This creates a virtuous cycle of knowledge sharing.
CEDIA has been the project hub in Ecuador since 2016. Since 2020, we have finalized important agreements for the growth and implementation of this methodology so that a real change can be generated in the health care of our country.
In partnership with FUPEC, we have established the Comprehensive Cancer Clinic, where oncologists, psychologists, and other specialists work to treat patients with this disease. Additionally, we have clinics for diabetes, gynecology, and hypertension, and in 2021, in collaboration with specialists Dr. Javier Ruiz and Dr. Verónica Vasquez, we launched the Cardiology Clinic.
To date, we have conducted 33 sessions covering various topics, including case presentations and knowledge updates. These sessions are held every two weeks.
