%X In Latin America there are few studies on socioeconomic inequalities in health variables and very few that
analyze inequities in the use of health services.Weinvestigate the determinants of the use of public health
services regarding preventive and healing visits, as well as the horizontal inequity by calculating the
horizontal inequity index of Ecuador’s adult population using data from 2012. The results show that there
is no evidence of horizontal inequity in the use of preventive and healing health care services. However,
we found that groups such as indigenous, individuals with no health insurance, with no education and
residents in the urban-coast show a lower probability of using both preventive and healing services.
