Objective: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in administrative personnel of the Hospital General Docente Ambato - Ecuador. Method: Descriptive observational study. Results and Conclusions: Musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent in the administrative personnel of the Hospital General Docente Ambato. The most affected area was the neck, where 42% reported discomfort, pain or discomfort, mainly among personnel working in the Quality Service (12%), Statistics (13%), Human Resources (4%) and TICS (2%). Most of the administrative personnel perceive that the tasks they perform during their daily work are one of the main causes of the MSDs they present, especially due to repetitive movements and workload, so it would be important and interesting to take measures in these areas.
