Abstract

Abstract:In Review Ruling No. 904-12-JP, the Constitutional Court addressed the case of Jessika Nole Ochoa, a pregnant woman who faced serious violations of her constitutional rights at the IESS Hospital in Machala during her delivery. Due to the lack of adequate and priority medical care, Jessika suffered physical and psychological consequences. She filed a protection action on September 22, 2011, against the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute, suing its directors for the medical negligence she experienced due to the lack of "validity of rights." Despite medical complications, she was referred to a public hospital after giving birth, which violated her right to health. After a series of public hearings and judicial reviews, on December 13, 2019, the Constitutional Court ruled in favor of Jessika for the denial of adequate care during her pregnancy, recognizing the obstetric violence she had suffered. This case underscores the importance of ensuring equal access to healthcare and protecting the rights of pregnant women in the Ecuadorian social security system.
