Comité Permanente por la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos

The Comité Permanente por la Defensa de los Derechos Humanos (CDH) is an organization based in Ecuador focused on the protection and promotion of human rights. Recently, the CDH has been in the news for its call to investigate the death of twelve newborns at the Hospital Universitario de Guayaquil, raising concerns about potential negligence and the adequacy of health protocols in place at the facility. The committee seeks to hold authorities accountable and improve public health policies to protect vulnerable populations, particularly infants.
