Observational Study
[Proposal for territorial analysis to face the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic based on the Profile of pneumonia and Influenza in Ecuador 2016-2018].
The present study seeks to analyse sociodemographic determinants related to severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and calculate the priorization index in the cantons of Ecuador to identify areas probably most vulnerable to COVID-19 transmission. ⋯ Morbidity and mortality of SARI in Ecuador are associated to social and demographic factors. Priorization exercises considering these factors permit the identification of vulnerable territories facing respiratory disease propagation. The social determinants characteristic for each territory should be added to known individual factors to analyse the risk and vulnerability for COVID in the population.

The approval of the euthanasia law represents a challenge for medicine and culminates a process of civic maturation of society in the face of death. There are challenges that the application of the law will have to meet. ⋯ Euthanasia should be an exception thanks to the existence of strong clinical, informational and relational safeguards that can only be guaranteed in the context of a solvent primary care that accompanies people throughout their lives. In this primarist and community context, euthanasia can be the last resort of a professional committed to not abandoning a patient with severe and irreversible suffering who requests it.
