Abstract

The year 2020 has brought very difficult times for all nations in the world with the emergence of the new coronavirus, causing the World Health Organization (WHO) to decree the first international pandemic in the XXI century, due to the high rate of infection and causing a large number of deaths worldwide. Ecuador fell victim of this problem causing the collapse of the public and private health system in the country due to the lack of medical centers to attend all the people who were affected, for this reason the governmental entities established the State of Sanitary Emergency to apply a strategy of social isolation and suppression of activities to avoid the spread of the virus. The following architectural proposal seeks to provide a solution to the high demand for health centers capable of diag nosing a special condition in the population, applying a design with the latest health trends applied by studying national and international analogous models. In addition to incorporating in the design the possibility of having mobile units that can reach the most distant areas of major cities in the country.
