Abstract

Infectious diseases have had a great impact on human history, causing more deaths than all other known causes of human mortality combined. The objective of the study is to analyze public health management in Ecuador, with the purpose of determining its impact on the prevention of infectious diseases, specifically in the Insular Region of Ecuador. Through a bibliographic and documentary review, the statistics on infectious diseases and the functions for this cause in Ecuador, including the Insular region, show the highest number of cases reported by the MSP of Ecuador, since a percentage corresponds to Covid19 Approximately 999,827 cases reported by the MSP and Dengue around 727. In relation to the Galapagos Islands, 6 cases of dengue were reported and Covid19 there have been more than 3,000 cases until 2022. However, despite the efforts and strategic alliances between the Ministry of Public Health in coordination with the WHO, and the achievements achieved with the application of a prevention plan, the structural weaknesses of the health system have made the response to the crisis difficult. Therefore, it was conclude that public health control must be permanent so that it does not become an epidemic and cause an increase in the mortality of the population in coming years.
