Vice President of Ecuador proposes to include electronic medical history in the identity card

The Vice President of Ecuador, Alfredo Borrero announced during his participation in the IV International Congress Smart City Ecuador 2021, the possibility of including the electronic medical record (EHR) in the identification card.

The Identity Card in Ecuador is an identification document used both to carry out procedures such as opening bank accounts, and to vote in elections. This certificate is obtained through a procedure in the Civil Registry office, which are located in cities throughout the country.

Vice President Borrero announced the possibility of implementing the HCE within the chip of the identity card. This proposal seeks that, in case of accidents or illness, the bearer of the card receives adequate treatment according to their medical history. Especially when in the event of an accident the person is not in their place of origin.

Borrero reconoce la importancia de la adopción de herramientas digítales y tecnológicas dentro del sistema de salud en Ecuador. “La tendencia actual es el E-Health. Es decir, la salud digital, con varios puntos de interconexión tecnológica para atender al ciudadano. La historia clínica electrónica en su cédula de identidad es un importante beneficio. Si la persona se encuentra en una ciudad alejada, los médicos que lo atienden pueden saber mejor qué le pasa”, explicó.

Por otra parte, el vicepresidente señaló que el gobierno se encuentra trabajando para llevar wifi gratuito a plazas de todo el país: “Para finales del año no tendremos, nunca más, en Ecuador, comunidades desconectadas. Es nuestra meta más ambiciosa”.

También durante el evento fue presentado el programa “Transformando la Salud en el Ecuador”, un esfuerzo del gobierno para reformar el sistema de salud en el país.
