Cervical-uterine cancer is one of the most frequent and mortal among Ecuadorian women. In this sense, uncountable resources are allocated by Health Institutions and by the patient herself and her relatives. Nevertheless, the activities related to both its health and non-health value chain, are not exactly known. The aim of this paper is to show the design of value chain of cervical-uterine cancer treatments in the Society for Fighting against Cancer in Portoviejo, Manabí, as this will make easier the efficient use of the resources on the part of the involved actors. For that, the case study method is used by means of research and technical tools like interview and bibliographic search.

Palabras clave : Non-Health Value Chain; Health Value Chain; Cervical-Uterine Cancer; Health Costs.
