University Emergency Commission COVID-19
The University Emergency Commission COVID-19 is made up of professionals who work in Ecuadorian universities. This commission is part of the Emergency Operations Committee (COE) of the National Risk and Emergency Management Service, and is coordinated by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Technology and Innovation. The Commission provides technical and scientific advice to the government in the formulation of policies to address the Coronavirus pandemic, and implements initiatives to that end. Examples of the initiatives implemented by universities are: monitoring the evolution of the pandemic, providing medical and psychological support via digital platforms and call centers, production and distribution of medical supplies and food, and implementation of digital libraries open to the public.
