Inaugurated in 1978, Hospital Kennedy is distin-
guished by its service infrastructure and complex
medical organization. Within its premises, there
have been developed programs for organ transplan-
tation, international courses of advance medicine,
surgeries, molecular biology experiments, book re-
leases and its own medical magazine, as well as
postgraduate programs in different specialties.
Kennedy hospital group has several projects for
the three nursing homes operating in the north of
Guayaquil and Samborondón. They have invested
about $20 million USD in improvement of facilities
and construction of two new towers at the Kennedy
Alborada and Samborondón.
The Kennedy Policentro concentrates most of the
technology. It has a complete, comprehensive car-
diology centre. There is everything needed to ad-
dress heart diseases, from examinations, tests and
diagnostics until the issue of transplants and related
procedures. In addition, on the fourth floor there will
be established the first gastroscopic ultrasound ma-
chine, which is considered to be a state of the art
equipment to detect minimal tumours in a stomach
wall.
There is also a smart theatre in the Kennedy Poli-
centro in the area of transplantation and the hospital
is plalnning to open another one. Yet another innova-
tion that is ready is the Intermediate Care Unit. State
of the art remote monitoring equipment has been
purchased.
The South Tower is planned to be build in the Ken-
nedy Alborada centre, staffed with 109 doctors, who
will join the existing 109. The unit will have 72 rooms.
It will operate as a hotel for patients and their fami-
lies. A patient that does not want to stay in the hos-
pital but requires therapy and special treatments can
rent a room for a week, 15 days or a month, and he
will be provided with the basic care, medication and
nursing, but in a completely different environment.
Meanwhile, in the Kennedy Samborondón there will
be located a new Delta tower. It will have 39 new
rooms and 20 physicians, who will join the 128 al-
ready existing. There you will also find an auditorium
and 57 new stations. In the first two towers there will
be all the technology, laboratories, operating rooms
and intensive care unit.
The Hospital will have additional patients due to the
agreement with IESS, which engages services of
private clinics. Approximately 30% of their current
occupation corresponds to IESS patients.”
Kennedy Health Group has inaugurated the Inter-
national Patient Service. This service provides non-
Spanish speaking patients with the access to medi-
cal consultancy services, examinations and other
services. There you can enjoy the following services
and facilities:
• Personalized bilingual attention.
