Análisis de la política pública del servicio de salud pública en mujeres embarazadas en el Ecuador: Caso del Hospital Básico Guido Alfonso Díaz, periodo 2018 - 2022

In Ecuador, the Ministry of Public Health prioritises maternal and child health due to challenges in maternal and neonatal mortality. In 2020, there were 160 maternal deaths and approximately 1900 deaths of newborns within the first month. The analysis of public health policies for pregnant women aims to examine their implementation. This is conducted through a methodological strategy involving a qualitative focus, incorporating various techniques such as literature review, document analysis, historical-logical, and inductive-deductive analysis. The goal is to understand the experiences of pregnant women treated at the Guido Alfonso Díaz Basic Hospital from 2018 to 2022. For data collection, a focus group of 45 users was selected to understand their perceptions of maternal care. Additionally, a second focus group was conducted with the ESAMyN program committee, consisting of 9 professionals, to enhance information. The exploration of services revealed their scope, highlighting significant growth in the "Maternity, Neonatal, and Breastfeeding Program," which served 1686 women in 2022. However, areas requiring improvement were identified, including medication and equipment availability, geographic accessibility, and awareness. Based on these findings, improvement strategies are proposed to strengthen public health policy. Key aspects include enhancing accessibility and feasibility of medication and medical test delivery, conducting teleconferences for educational sessions, and increasing awareness of prenatal prevention.
