On the night of March 15, the National Police of Ecuador assisted a pregnant woman who was in labor during a curfew that was being enforced in Guayaquil. The curfew, which began at 11 PM, restricted movement across the city, and during the police checks, officers intercepted the woman as she was trying to reach a medical facility.

The officers, recognizing the urgency of the situation, promptly took action to ensure that the woman received the medical attention she required. They transported her to Monte Sinaí Hospital, located in the northwest of the city, where medical personnel were prepared to provide immediate care. This response highlights the challenges faced by the police in managing public safety while also addressing emergencies during curfews.

The situation underscores the delicate balance between enforcing public restrictions and ensuring the well-being of citizens during critical moments. Police involvement in medical emergencies during curfews raises questions about policy effectiveness and the need for flexibility in enforcing such measures to accommodate urgent health needs.
