Andrea interned at a public hospital in Quito, Ecuador to experience their healthcare system and compare it to the US. She found the hospital lacked cleanliness due to high patient volumes. The experience helped her decide what kind of medicine she may pursue. She observed various medical procedures and assisted doctors in areas like family medicine, pediatrics and gynecology. The internship provided hands-on experience and patient interaction to help with her career decision making.

The delivery of these services require adequate and competent health and care workers with optimal skills mix at facility, outreach and community level, and who are equitably distributed, adequately supported and enjoy decent work.UHC strategies enable everyone to access the services that address the most significant causes of disease and death and ensures that the quality of those services is good enough to improve the health of the people who receive them.
Protecting people from the financial consequences of paying for health services out of their own pockets reduces the risk that people will be pushed into poverty because unexpected illness requires them to use up their life savings, sell assets, or borrow – destroying their futures and often those of their children.
Many countries are already making progress towards UHC, although everywhere the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the availability the ability of health systems to provide undisrupted health services. All countries can take actions to move more rapidly towards UHC despite the setbacks of the COVID-19 pandemic, or to maintain the gains they have already made. In countries where health services have traditionally been accessible and affordable, governments are finding it increasingly difficult to respond to the ever-growing health needs of the populations and the increasing costs of health services.
Moving towards UHC requires strengthening health systems in all countries. Robust financing structures are key. When people have to pay most of the cost for health services out of their own pockets, the poor are often unable to obtain many of the services they need, and even the rich may be exposed to financial hardship in the event of severe or long-term illness. Pooling funds from compulsory funding sources (such as government tax revenues) can spread the financial risks of illness across a population.
UHC emphasizes not only what services are covered, but also how they are funded, managed, and delivered. A fundamental shift in service delivery is needed such that services are integrated and focused on the needs of people and communities. This includes reorienting health services to ensure that care is provided in the most appropriate setting, with the right balance between out- and in-patient care and strengthening the coordination of care. Health services, including traditional and complementary medicine services, organized around the comprehensive needs and expectations of people and communities will help empower them to take a more active role in their health and health system.

My goal of this internship was to experience the health care culture
in Ecuador. With an interest in nutrition, and public health in
general, I was able to compare our system of health care to that of
a rapidly changing third world country. I found that general
cleanliness lacked, most likely due to a loose structure in the
hospital and enormous amount of patients served on a daily basis.
As a personal goal, I looked forward to making a final decision
about what kind of medicine, if any, I would pursue. I wanted the
hands-on experience and patient interaction that would be
obtainable in this hospital.
• Nutrition serves as a mode of self empowerment, especially for
culture in Ecuador where food takes on a large roll in family life
• Culture and diversity have always been a large part of the
Wooster education, but this volunteer opportunity helped to put
that in perspective, which I hope to bring back and share with
others
THANK YOU

ABOUT ELI ABROAD AND UNIDAD DE
MUNICIPAL CENTRO
ELI is a nonprofit organization that places students with
internships in countries around the world. ELI partners with small
humanitarian and environmental organizations that do not have
the means to recruit their own volunteers. My organization
specifically, was with a small government run hospital in Quito,
Ecuador. All services at this hospital are free of charge to the
patients, including any medicine from the pharmacy. This clinic
serves to reach patients of the community in need of non-
emergency medical assistance. The departments in this hospital
include Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Gynecology, Psychology,
Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Acupuncture.
PURPOSE OF MY FELLOWSHIP
FELLOW
WHAT I LEARNED
WHAT I DID
I performed various duties including taking vitals, temperature,
weight and height in preconsult. I worked along side doctors in
Family Medicine, Pediatrics, and Gynecology. I observed
gynecological biopsies, and several small surgeries. I learned how
to run EKGs and assisted with patients . I also learned how to
perform hearing tests, and helped with several patients in this
exam and the write up that followed.
