Moving towards a unified and universal monitoring system in Ecuador to address child malnutrition

The Unified and Universal Nominal Monitoring System (SUUSEN) from Ecuador implemented its first pilot project consisting of the operational alerts platform, which links the administrative records of six government institutions into a single large database to derive care needs. The territorial brigades generate information, identify needs and, through the alert platform, the corresponding institution is notified to respond to the need. In this way, a multidimensional vision is obtained that addresses the causality and consequences of social problems such as chronic child malnutrition.
