Ministerio de Salud Pública

The Ministerio de Salud Pública (MSP) in Ecuador is the governmental body responsible for overseeing public health policies and initiatives in the country. Recently, it has been in the news for intensifying vaccination efforts against whooping cough and yellow fever in response to an increase in cases and fatalities related to these diseases. The MSP's initiatives include special vaccination campaigns targeting high-risk groups, particularly infants and young children, in provinces most affected by these outbreaks.
