Context: Ecuador has a national health system characterized by a wide institutional fragmentation, by population segmentation and financing. This determines an inequitable distribution of re-sources and healthcare services for cancer control. The Society for the Fight against Cancer (SOLCA) is a private organization that, since 1951, offers specialized cancer care in the country. On the other hand, the incorporation of oncology services in public hospitals of the MSP is relatively recent.
Discussion: dthe new National Strategy for Comprehensive Cancer Care in Ecuador includes lines of action aimed at prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care, promoting social and intersectoral action, and influencing the education of the population. In addition, this strategy is expected to reduce the socioeconomic burden, promote quality of life and reduce inequity in access to health services. However, its proper implementation will re-quire the participation and efforts of all the sectors involved including civil organizations.
Conclusion: the control and comprehensive care of cancer in Ecuador should be a national priority. There-fore, decisions and future actions should be based on a shared responsibility among the differ-ent actors, within the framework of a true social conscience and in the application of constitu-tional right to health
