Lead section draft for "Health in Ecuador"

There are many common diseases in Ecuador due to the lack of health care, such as malaria, water-borne diseases, and respiratory infections. Only the richest people in the nation can afford private health care to avoid these problems. This is why Ecuador's Ministry of Public Health created health care policies to try and help those most vulnerable to diseases. There is general and specific hospitals to accommodate the particular sickness a person is undergoing. The country is divided into four regions with high altitudes and harsh climates. The savagery of the environment makes not only citizens prone to being infected, but tourists as well.
