Note: Surgical specialists are encouraged to recruit necessary support personnel, such as an anesthesiologist and OR nurse. Please ask them to complete the application process as well.
Please understand that the medications that we have chosen for our pharmacy are representative of those available in the Ecuador. We have selected them for affordability and when more costly but essential drugs are necessary we have chosen to subsidize them. Many of the medications commonly available to you in your home countries may not be able to be purchased in Ecuador or are prohibitively expense. It is important to utilize our formulary.
Similarly laboratory testing both those tests offered within the health center and particularly those from the commercial outside laboratory must be ordered judiciously so that limited resources for direct medical care are not diverted unnecessarily. Your generous donation of your time and skills will go much further in helping the Indigenous people of the Oriente if we all remain cognizant of the economic challenges faced by our patients.
