Questions

How many English-speaking doctors are there in Ecuador?
We list 118, in 3 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Quito, with 76 of the 118.
Is English unusual for doctors in Ecuador?
96% of the 123 doctors we hold in Ecuador are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
