SMOKH AFFILIATES WITH THE SCHOOL INEPE, QUITO
In the spirit of cooperation, and fostering medical care in the highlands of Quito, SMOKH officially affiliated with INEPE and made a donation to the school. Many Knights in attendance also made donations to the school both monetary and clothing for the attendants as well as assisting in medical care in the school's primary care clinic for three days.
At the INEPE School, a 3 day course on rural primary care was held, outlining the Hospitaller template for future clinics. More than 30 doctors were in attendance including physicians from Ecuador's Social Security Hospital where a presentation was planned for the hospital's staff in October.
• On April 2, 2007, the Ecuadorian Congress approved the inscription of the Orden Soberana de San Juan de Jerusalen Caballeros Hospitalarios in the domicile of Pinchincha. The Order as an Ecclesiastical Entity is now official in its work as a charitable Hospitaller Institution in Ecuador.
