Emergency numbers
Emergency (all services)911WHO reports acute stroke care and rehabilitation are provided in more than half of public-sector health facilities. Suspected stroke should be treated as a time-critical emergency — recognize symptoms (FAST), call emergency services, and seek the nearest capable hospital.
Ecuador has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. On the ground, day-to-day accessibility for stroke survivors is partial — usable mainly in major cities. The capital and large cities are moderately accessible; secondary cities and rural areas lag well behind.
This profile is modeled from income group, region and WHO indicators — the specific national disability statute has not been individually verified for Ecuador.
