Ecuador National Museum of Medicine

Estrella's mission was to paint a full picture of the native, natural medicine of South America and to preserve Ecuadoran heritage.

The Dr. Eduardo Estrella National Museum of Medicine library has been established to collect, protect, classify and catalog the medical, administrative and economic documentation of health institutions for Ecuador.

It features exhibits on pre-Columbian indigenous healing practices, colonial-era medicine, and the evolution of medical science in the country.

Located in the heart of Quito, this museum is an important cultural institution that offers visitors a unique perspective on the history of health and medicine in Ecuador.
