Created in 1988 in cooperation with the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp in Belgium, the main objective of the ISP is to strengthen the links between medical education and services.

This Institute, from the Faculty of Medicine of the PUCE, promotes the training and higher education in public health of students committed to the country and its diverse realities of health inequality.
