The objective of the research is to analyze musculoskeletal disorders in hospital workers of the administrative area of the Hospital General Docente Ambato - Ecuador. Methodologically it was descriptive with a non-experimental design. The study population consisted of a group of 100 professionals. Musculoskeletal disorders are prevalent in the administrative staff of the Hospital General Docente Ambato, the most affected area was the neck where 42% reported discomfort, pain or discomfort that occurred mainly in the staff 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.
