The Cochrane Centre of the UTE University of Ecuador receives the "General Rumiñahui" award for its work related to the COVID-19 pandemic

The Cochrane research group at the UTE University of Ecuador has received the "General Rumiñahui" award by the Pichincha Provincial Council for its fight against the spread of COVID-19. The collaborating team there, part of Cochrane Iberoamerica has been recognized for their work on epidemiological research at the UTE. This award acknowledges their valuable contribution in modeling the evolution of the pandemic in the province; a fundamental task for taking preventive measures during the country's health emergency.

On May 24th, a virtual event was held at the UTE to celebrate the award. Cochrane and Cochrane Iberoamerica would like to congratulate our colleagues Ricardo Hidalgo, Daniel Simancas, Andrés Viteri, and the rest of the team on this recognition. We are very grateful and proud of their contribution in managing the pandemic and their involvement in Cochrane.
