It has a strong presence in our country’s Coast, especially in Guayas, Los Rios and El Oro. 80% of detected cases are in these provinces. There are areas such as Daule, Milagro and Salitre where the disease is considered endemic. The situation turns complicated in rural areas, especially due to the lack of basic services. At the El Rincon precinct, of Daule county, 25 of the 70 families were diagnosed with “leprosy”
