description The National Health System of Ecuador (SNS) is characterized by its segmentation and fragmentation, which limits the implementation of public policies in the sector and provisional services. This study was conducted using an analytical framework of governance in health and observations of the type of principal-agent relations in the provision of public services. It is based on a case study that shows how the institutional configuration of SNS in Ecuador unfolds and how this affects the implementation of public policies. The results show that despite the designed mechanisms in place to improve the coordination of the health system, the institutional structure hinders the implementation of integrated networks of provision services

Utilizando el marco analítico de la gobernanza en salud y los tipos de relaciones agente-principal en la provisión de servicios públicos, se realiza un estudio de caso en el que se analiza la configuración institucional en la que se desenvuelve el SNS del Ecuador y cómo ésta afecta la implementación de la política pública. Se observa que, a pesar de los mecanismos diseñados para mejorar la coordinación del sistema, la estructura institucional impide la implementación de las redes integradas de prestación de servicios. O Sistema Nacional de Saúde do Equador (SNS) tem se caracterizado pela sua segmentação e fragmentação, o que condiciona a implementação de políticas públicas no setor e a prestação do serviço. Utilizando o marco analítico da governança em saúde e os tipos de relações agente-principal na prestação de serviços públicos, é realizado um estudo de caso no qual se analisa a configuração institucional em que se desenvolve o SNS do Equador e como esta afeta a implementação da política pública. Observa-se que, apesar dos mecanismos desenhados para melhorar a coordenação do sistema, a estrutura institucional impede a implementação das redes integradas de prestação de serviços.
