The government of Ecuador is pledging to continue its expansion of the country's public health system.

Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa inaugurated three new health centers in previously under-serviced areas Tuesday as part of a push to bolster health care nationwide.

The centers are located in three towns in the southern province of Azuay: Chaucha, Nabon and Molleturo, and will offer services ranging from dentistry to psychological care.

According to Correa, the centers offer care that was previously unavailable in the region, with many residents used to having to make long journeys to the cities of Cuenca or Guayaquil to receive treatment.
