El Nino in Borbon, Ecuador

Abstract:

The "global" climatic phenomenon of El Niño is described in its "local" expressions and dramatic health implications through the daily chronicle of what happens in an area of the Pacific Amazonia in Ecuador. The report is also an example of how health promoters living with the communities substantially contribute to the comprehensive surveillance of the life, and not only of the health, of micro-populations, which is the characteristics of community epidemiology.
